Özet:

It is seen that the political and social structure of the Turkish theater after 1980 is reflected in the works. In this period, when there is a dull literary life compared to previous periods, theatrical works suffer from the inability to renew themselves. Baydur’s plays are elaborate texts in terms of form and content which are meticulous texts in terms of form and content, draw attention in terms of not only revealing the social conditions of Turkey after 1980, but also referring to universal human values, and they contain sadness and humor together. The author, questioning the conventional ways of thinking and the roles assigned to people by society, brings an innovative approach to Turkish theater after 1980 with his non-didactic attitude. In the play, thoughts about the past and the future are revealed through Murat, Nazlı and Arif. “Yalnızlığın Oyuncakları” which processes emotions such as loneliness, fear, boredom, sadness, jealousy and hatred that every person feels throughout their lives, also exhibits the efforts of individuals to cope with these emotions. The plays and childlike attitudes of the actors when loneliness becomes an obligation are remarkable in terms of revealing the defining features of Baydur theater.
