Our dramatic authors in a number of their works reflected the new man in the context of modern life, of the construction of socialism. Our dramaturgy on a modern theme contained a number of socio-psychological and socio-critical elements. Its main feature was the denial of the then capitalist reality, the affirmation of the new that was coming. These works outlined the rapid development of socialist realism from the initial period after September 9 to the present day.

It is already difficult to say anything more and original about "Hamlet". His character, ideological peace, attitude towards the world, towards others and towards himself, have long found one or another consideration in the vast literature on tragedy. Every era, with its old and its turbulent new ideas, has wanted to look into the wonderful and mysterious soul of Hamlet. It has wanted to make him its close friend, acquaintance, a fighter for what it desired, or a contemplator of what it dreamed of. Thus, many and different "theories" have arisen on Hamlet and his eternal and "misunderstood" image. The philosophical-idealistic, psychological and aesthetic concepts, which have reflected different worldviews and artistic tastes, seem to have said a lot and yet far from the whole truth about Hamlet. For many, Hamlet has been a source of intellectual exaltation or poetic experience. Hamlet is a world. And in every new effort to reveal and exhaust this world there is something "quixotic." It is an expression of the noble aspiration to approach the truth about it and about ourselves, to delve into the eternal Movement of life, into the human soul.

The strong emphasis on the moral moment, revealing the revolutionary essence of the spiritual atmosphere of our time and days, inevitably led to a certain didacticism in dramaturgy. The socialist ideal, expressed in the concrete idea of ​​the work, as the norm of life, i.e. as its driving and determining force and the reverse process - the revelation of life, from which the idea is logically derived, determined part of our newest dramaturgy.
