The Well-Made Play Debate

Is it really a debate? There is an argument I hear being made aloud, often, for the...not the well-made-play, exactly, but in favor of plot.

I've also heard "let theater be theater, let it be theatrical."

Are these in opposition? I don't know. I don't want to think so.

If anyone has other links that pertain to "what is theater supposed to be," I welcome them...
