Özet:

Literature contributes to the evaluation of historical processes with the interpretations it brings to historical events. Especially theater works have undertaken this mission, as they have a performance dimension among the literary genres. We can say that the philosophies of history of the countries that have produced rich works in terms of historical theater works are also quite developed. Many plays have been written about the Ottoman sultans in Turkish theater literature. The plays about Sultan Abdulhamid II, on the other hand, started to be performed especially during the Second Constitutional Period and immediately after it. In these games, the period of Abdulhamid II and the tyranny is criticised, as can be expected. Fuad's Censorship from Mesaib-i İstibdattan (1908), Abdullah Sami's Result-i İstibdat (1908), Ahmet Cevat Emre's Yıldızın Sonu (1909). In some of these games, we see that Abdulhamid II is the axis person. Dr. Kamil's Turnless Face or Hürriyet Army (1909), Live Funeral or Star's Telaşes (1909), Ahmet Bahri's Gasb and Nedamet Again Revenge (1910), Mehmet İhsan's Ambition-i Saltanat or Revenge-i Meşru-u Nation (1911), Abdülhalim Memduh and Refik Nevzad's Abdülhamid and Young Turkish A Harem Network (1911), Moralizade Vassaf Kadri's Star Facialari (1911), Abdülhak Hamid's Liberte (1913) are the kind of works we mentioned. After the Republic II. There are very few games that can objectively approach the personality and period of Abdullah. Necip Fazıl Kısakürek, Ulu Hakan (1969), Güngör Dilmen, İttihat and Terakki (1969), Günsar Türköz's Hakan (1974), Supreme Faith's Gök Sultan. In the games of Abdulhamid Han (2016) we see that either the past speech is continued, or that he wants to compare to the past, Abdulhamid II is highly praised; we see that the past speech is continued. Kemal Bekir's work, Düşüş (1975) has a separate place with a non-predictable point of view, if it is necessary for the firmness of the technique.
