Depicting ordinary people

Do few playwrights depict ordinary people doing ordinary jobs? In The Guardian, this is the question. Occasional dramatists have made an attempt to get away from the general tendency of English drama, and perhaps through the world of all writers, rather than setting a play in a domestic setting among the leisured, educated classes with not much else to do but swap ideas on tea and fall in and out of love. Writers have tried to evoke a professional world. Influenced by hard-nosed dudes like David Mamet.
