| Experimental theatre is a general term for various movements in Western theatre that began in the 20th century as a reaction against
the then-dominant conventions governing the writing and production of drama, and against naturalism in particular. The term has shifted over time as the mainstream theatre world has adopted many forms
that were once considered radical. It is used more or less interchangeably with the term avant-garde theatre.
