How do the playwrights Barry Hines and Allan Stronach convey to the audience a sense of realism in the play Kes? The playwrights Barry Hines and Allan Stronach use many different techniques to convey to the audience a sense of realism in the play ¡§Kes.¡¨ The two writers show these techniques presenting them very carefully and realistically by showing settings, characters and language which makes the play realistic. They show the audience real life. To answer this question, we need to ascertain what the background of the play is. It is about a 15 year old boy by the name of Billy Casper. He has only one companion, his kestrel hawk because he is a boy with nowhere to go and nothing to say to anybody. He is also having many problems with school and his own family. He focuses on this kestrel and it is the focus of the love, love he has personally been denied. In this play, the settings play a vital role in conveying to the audience a sense of realism. His home is a typical council estate in Barnsley. This makes it realistic as it includes talking about the mining industry which was popular at this time when the play was set and also around that area. Woking down the pit was an original job for the working class man at this time. It shows real life as it is not like a movie today, which includes a ¡§Hollywood¡¨ type setting. His school is a typical example of a comprehensive school today.
