Kitchen sink realism involves working class settings[6] and accents, including accents from Northern England.[7] The films and plays often explore taboo subjects such as adultery, pre-marital sex, abortion, and crime.[8] Before the 1950s, the United Kingdom's working class were often depicted stereotypically in Noël Coward's drawing room comedies and British films.[citation needed] Kitchen sink realism was seen as being in opposition to the "well-made play", the kind which theatre critic Kenneth Tynan once denounced as being set in "Loamshire", of dramatists like Terence Rattigan. John Osborne's play Look Back in Anger (1956) depicted young men in a way that is similar to the then-contemporary "Angry Young Men" movement of film and theatre directors.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-707.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-707.txt
