Well-made works of drama that have trivial, insignificant, or melodramatic plots.
uncommon, uncountable
Naturally this critic loses no chance to express his contempt for what he calls “Sardoodledom:” the cult of the “wellmade” play. He gives M. Sardou no bail, and barely allows Mr. Pinero to go at large on good behavior.
Where it comes from
Blend of Sardou + doodle + -dom, named after French dramatist Victorien Sardou. Coined by Irish playwright, critic, and polemicist George Bernard Shaw who first used it on the 1 June, 1895 in the Saturday Review when criticising Sardou's well-made plays.
