Explanation:

Question 1

Henrik Ibsen was a 19th - century Realist playwright known for addressing social issues that challenged the norms of his time. Chekhov, while a great playwright, is more associated with a slightly later period and a different style of realism. Craig and Appia were more involved in theatrical design rather than playwriting focused on social issues.

In the 1950s, homosexuality was highly stigmatized. The idea of former plantation owners being a gay couple was very unexpected given the cultural norms of the time. Having African - American servants was more common in the South's cultural context, wanting an heir was a traditional family goal, and a spouse's differing views on children, while a conflict, was less socially transgressive than the idea of a gay couple in that era.

Answer:

A. Ibsen
