Abstract

After pointing out the ideologic character of basic concepts usually employed in dramatic literature analysis, this study tries to show how we can see farther when free from their limitations. Once noted the classist basis of theatre theories in Brazil, ideological fight arises as an useful spotlight to illuminate the regularly shadowed faces of Martins Pena's comedies.
