A common element of postmodern plays is that the characters seem stuck.
Postmodern plays are the reactions against the modernist plays. The focus of the plays is to evoke individual understanding rather than to highlight the universal truths. It encourages the audiences to come to their own understanding rather than accepting the norms of the world. The plays raise questions rather than providing answers to any. The characters of the plays stream out in fragments from a central idea thus speaking about the flaws of the world.
