Abstract

The central idea upon which plays of Micheal Frayn are established is that a text or event is reborn and reconstructed every time it is recited or recalled. He sublimated history, physics, and various dramatic techniques into splendid drama to reflect upon the dilemmas thrown to the human in today's world of indeterminacy. It will be explored how Frayn has plied ‘uncertainty principle' to drama with a distance from Becket and Brecht by analyzing three plays. Furthermore, his expressed perspective on the Brechtian notion of the ‘alienation effect' is discussed. The plays chosen for this article areNoises Off (1982), Audience (1991), and Copenhagen (1998).
