Science fiction plays -- See Also the narrower term Dystopian plays
This heading is used as a genre/form heading for plays set in an uncertain future, in a society ruled by an ineffectual, corrupt, or oppressive regime or by aliens, robots, etc. Plays set in a world or civilization after a catastrophic event (e.g., nuclear war, an alien invasion), sometimes also including the period immediately preceding the event, are entered under Apocalyptic drama.
