description Special theatrical forms have been developed in many geographical-cultural areas of the world, and are indigenous to that area. In comparison with the original forms, these forms are considered as traditional, and when they are comprehensive, they are considered as national. The present research investigates “Kaboudan and Esfandiar” based on eclectic theory. “Kaboudan and Esfandiar” result from dramatic storytelling, and are combined with Western theater. An analysis of storytelling and Western theater is carried out in this study based on the eclectic theory. To this end, the questions, what makes a play an eclectic theater? And to what extent are “Kaboudan and Esfandiar” successfully applied in eclecticism? are asked. To address these questions, the definition of the critical elements in both forms of theater (tradition and Western method), their structure and also play construction, are comprehensively discussed based on authors’ designed analysis for analytical study.
