( ): Chief advocate of Naturalism; believed that the should expose so that their causes could be corrected. Naturalists believed that many Realists were concerned with theatrical than with. Naturalists called for theater to be exposing everyday life in all of its ugly details. Unlike realism, naturalism was not successful in the theatre, possibly due to its extreme demands. The Naturalism movement produced few plays of significance. Best known of all Naturalism playwrights was ( ).
