 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.

 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.

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.
