Violence, which means an impulse to the human being, born or later acquired, has always been one of the main materials of the theater, directly or indirectly. The theatre has always criticized the violence, taking into account the pressures on the individual or describing the individual’s struggle, victory or loss with these pressures. The fact that the topic of violence is one of the key elements that ensures the continuation of the American system and that the individual is directly linked to the disorders in which he experiences has made it inevitable that he holds an important place in the content of the American theatre. The American theatrical tradition, which focuses on the fact of violence or not, shows the current destruction of the vital bridge that requires existence between society and individual, by bringing on the stage the effects of social alienation, self-existence, sense of absence and disemotion, which are revealed on the public level as a result of violence on the individual. At this point, American theatre history is important in terms of the fact that the fact of violence is systematically directed to the American culture in the context of power, that the individual is driven to negativity and chaos, that it is out of the center to the margin, that the individual has the decision-making mechanisms to show in a clear and hard language that the violence itself is created.

Violence which means an acquired drive by birth or late has always been one of the main tools of theatre directly or indirectly. Theatre has taken suppression on individuals into consideration throughout the history or criticized that violence by telling about the victory, defeat, or struggle of individual with this suppression. It has caused to be unavoidable that the theme of violence is one of the key actors that especially provides the continuity of American system and is directly related to individuals’ nausea so that it is an important part of American theatre. Tradition of American theatre which focuses on violence necessarily, makes it clear that social alienation, otherization, sense of nada, and indurations which emerge on public sphere as the result of violence are staged to show how the vital bridge between society and individual collapses. At that point it is so crucial that history of American theatre reflects how violence directs American culture systematically in terms of power relations, takes individual into pessimism, marginalizes, helps her/his decision making processes be formed by violence’s itself by using both a clear and a tough language.
