Kitchen sink realism involves working class settings[7] and accents, including accents from Northern England.[8] The films and plays often explore taboo subjects such as adultery, pre-marital sex, abortion, and crime.

Kitchen sink realism (or kitchen sink drama) is a British cultural movement that developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s in theatre, art,[1] novels, film and television plays, whose protagonists usually could be described as "angry young men" who were disillusioned with modern society. It used a style of social realism which depicted the domestic situations of working-class Britons, living in cramped rented accommodation and spending their off-hours drinking in grimy pubs, to explore controversial social and political issues ranging from abortion to homelessness.
