This essay aims to explore Arnold Wesker's social humanism highlighting the human need for something of wage labor and the function of culture and art through his first play The Kitchen. The Kitchen portrays the social reality and the uncompromising system of post-capitalist society. In The Kitchen, workers are self-alienated enforcing on their routine lives and they do not even try to communicate with other people. Paradoxically, they are fighting each other for showing themselves their existences. Wesker asserts that the cultural environment and artistic activities for working class are the best way to make them communicate with themselves, to evoke their potentialities and to join the world from which they were alienated and eventually the first phase to improve the quality of life. Wesker's humanist concern is always presented in the direction of poor, indecisive, lonely, and drab workers through his plays. This is basically what Wesker differs from other social dramatists. in this respect, The Kitchen is the best play which shows Wesker's humanistic value.
