Living in a chaotic world which contains good and evil, justice and injustice, humanity suffers because the system of values and morality has diminished, and people are left without souls just like walking dead bodies. Humans are living in a world where purposeless killing has become trivial, something they have become habituated to as if it were part of their daily life. This current study tends to exploit the grotesque as a mode of black humour to expose some of the awful realities of our world. Both George Walker's Beyond Mozambique (1974) and Neil LaBute's Bash (1999) mirror the societies which they are part of. This study tends to apply some of the characteristic features of the grotesque to clarify the similarities and differences between the two plays under discussion.
