	Taking the Great out of Britain by Henrik Bering - Policy Review 133 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Working-class life in all its stuntedness was depicted in the so-called kitchen sink dramas, heavily promoted by the period’s leading critic, Kenneth Tynan, who saw them as a welcome reaction against the genteel drawing-room comedies of Noel Coward and Terence Rattigan.
		Among the leading “kitchen sink” playwrights were Arnold Wesker and John Osborne, in whose 1956 “Look Back in Anger” the anti-hero Jimmy Porter rails against women, against politics, against religion, against the lot.
		The “kitchen sink” wave launched a raft of dreary working-class plays and novels about bleak northern towns, but they appealed more to academics than to the working class.

		Of the eight network slots available for dramas, three would be cop shows, one would be a game show, and the remaining four slots would be taken up by "reality-based shows." No scripted dramas.
		Perhaps more damning, many young theater artists I spoke with generally dismissed the notion of any drama that seemed realistic with derisive phrases like "kitchen sink" or "front porch." O.K., so maybe this was merely a generational response.
		Let the theater pursue the drama, a drama that is immediate, interactive and intimate, and whose point is catharsis.

	Vera Drake
		For anyone, like me, who grew up in the UK, there’s a charming nostalgia to be found in a new Mike Leigh movie.
		Leigh’s observational "kitchen sink dramas" (which include Secrets and Lies, Career Girls, and Life is Sweet) dramatize everyday Englanders going about their daily lives with documentary-like precision–the director often allows his actors to improvise their lines thus enhancing the overall aesthetic.
		Audience members not hailing from those fair shores are prone to witness odd, eccentric, and altogether alien-like beings congregated in damp flats, speaking in a completely foreign tongue, and washing away their worries with veritable gallons of tea.

		The round stage looks like a cross between a mad scientist's laboratory and an ultramodern kitchen: beakers filled with fluorescent green liquid rest on silver carts and a large chandelier packed with green peas hangs overhead.

	iFMagazine.com Features - BLEAK MOMENTS, HIGH HOPES AND A TOPSY TURVY LOOK AT LIFE
		Mike Leigh’s films grow out of the "kitchen sink" dramas made famous in England in the 1960’s and 70’s.
		These are essentially soap operas that are more centralized on the conditions of the working class and their financial struggles than of the upper class and their romantic struggles.
		Somewhat close to BLEAK MOMENTS, this comedic drama is on the opposite spectrum as far as attitude and sensibility are concerned.

		For decades, staff at Simmons preserved tens of thousands of original costume designs and costumier's copies of the originals, along with an extensive research library.
		Assembled with great care, these materials form a unique visual record of British drama from the 1880s to the 1960s.
		The Simmons archive also provides new evidence about the nature of costume design in the nineteenth century, for Simmons' records indicate that costume design was integrated with other elements of theatrical production earlier than previously thought.

	John Guare (1938- )
		He wrote his first play at the age of eleven and very early became dissatisfied with traditional kitchen-sink dramas in which everything was "real" right down to the kitchen-sink.
		The musical was designed to play in the back of a truck from which it would tour the parks of New York, but the show was so successful that it soon moved to Broadway where it went on to win the Tony Award for "Best Musical."
		How the playwright resolves this tension between surface reality and inner reality, how the playwright restores the theater to its true nature as a place of poetry, song, joy, a place of darkness where the bright truth is told, that war against the kitchen sink is ultimately the history of our theater."

	The Believer - The Passion of the Morrissey
		1960s kitchen sink dramas such as A Taste of Honey and Billy Liar, both studies in the themes of isolation, marginalization and the power of the imagination, exerted a potent influence on him.
		Arriving on the pop scene at a time when the charts were dominated by boys with synthesizers, asymmetric hairstyles and all the emotional depth and intellectual insight of the ZX Spectrum, Morrissey's genius was simply to transfer the obsessions of his bedroom on to the stage.
		His lyrics, peppered with insights and direct quotes from his favorite sources from the past, coupled the grim realities of the kitchen sink with a Romantic retreat into the realm of the imagination.
