What are the the major themes of modern british drama? Who are the most famous playwrights of that era?

British modern dramatists include Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett, and George Bernard Shaw. One of the major themes of modern drama was the importance of psychology. Psychoanalysis was new, and playwrights were anxious to delve into the human psyche. This was especially true for Samuel Beckett. Another theme involves criticism of high society.
