- claim that people adopt roles and give performances is difficult to prove - 14Critical Assessment: An interest group, not a theory- views in the theory are embraced by scholars in a wide range of fields, some think the diversity of disciplines employing a dramaturgical perspective suggests that dramaturgy is not a unified theory
