Despite passing more than two decades since resistance theatre started and in spite of making lots of efforts, holding different festivals and efforts made by thinkers in this fields, public welcome to this genre of theatre and quantity of works in this field are not satisfactory. In this article (Research), I intend to find the reason for this pathology. In order to achieve this goal, I will study signs of these works. By considering the accepted theory of “Allegory”? and “Metaphor”? presented by “Roman Jacobson”?, we will reach to two groups of “Figurative Drama”? and “Metaphorical Drama”?. These groups include four types of “Metaphor of Basic Poetry”?, “Metaphor of Basic Prose”?, “Allegory of Basic Poetry”? and “Allegory of Basic Prose”?. By conducting comparative study on resistance theatre and resistance cinema, we have reached to “Figurative Drama of Resistance Cinema”? and “Metaphorical Drama of Resistance Theatre”? as accepted models. Lack of knowledge about these two types of dramas and mixing them with them resulted in making lots of efforts in picturing war on theatre stage (With a metaphorical view). It is while it is in contrary with nature of theatre as a medium. And this lack of knowledge has been recognized as the root of this pathology. In our studies, we also came to the result that cliché subjects and limited plots are other weaknesses and damages in this field.

In this article it is tried to offer some definitions of the war from the social studies and from a dramatic point of view the role of the family in the creation of the play is discussed. At first we will deal with the investigation of the relationship of the families especially in the Iranian society at the time of the imposed war that was the context through which these plays have been created. In what follows the reflection of the family in the Ù?Sacred defense war plays such as 31 / 6 / 77, three parts of the pure life of a polite and beautiful young man, murmurs behind the front lines written by Ali Reza Naderi, Zemestan 66 by Mohammad Yagoobi, Nahre Firooz Abad ( First Part : Special care taking ) written by Mohammad Rahmanian, Asmaeeb and Dahani Por az Kalagh written by Jamshid Khanian have been investigated. In the end the Iranian plays mentioned above will be comparatively investigated with a foreign successful example, “All My Sons”? by Arthur Miller, the American writer.
