This article analyses the concept of “children’s character” and its types in the field of drama. The research is focused to dramaturgy of Mc. Donaugh and M.Ravenhill when in English dramaturgy this topic became more popular. The characters of M. McDonaugh's works have their own physiological and mental characteristics, they continue to look at the world like children even when they grow up, they lack independence. For an adequate understanding and interpretation of the children's play "Totally Over You", M. Ravenhill refers not only to the classic precedent text, but also to the artefacts of contemporary popular culture.
