Ahmet Muhip Dıranas is one of the powerful artists of the Republican Period who has made his name known with the important poems he has contributed to our literary world. Although Ahmet Muhip Dıranas achieved his recognition in literary life mainly through his poems and poetry, he expanded his field of art by writing two theater plays called Gölgeler and Çıkmaz in the same period. The theater play called Çıkmaz, which is the main material and main subject of this work, is one of the important works written in 1947 and which won acclaim by being staged in various theater halls during the same periods. In this theater play, which revolves around many colorful characters placed in the game to represent socially specific roles and values and has a fiction in which events lead people to a “dead end”, many elements, especially the perspective of Ahmet Muhip Dıranas, the areas of criticism and the human form he is aiming at, have been made visible through certain images and transfers. In this study, the theater play called Çıkmaz was analyzed from structural points of view within the framework of the individual cast, event, space, time, perspective and narrator and was evaluated thematic in accordance with the themes set forth by the author.
