His early plays dealt with erotic and psychological topics. In his later years, Kaiser turned to social criticism of the machine and information age. He fled to Switzerland when the Nazis came to power in the 1930s, and turned to writing verse dramas on mythological themes, including Pygmalion, Amphitryon, and Bellerophon, and a pacifist drama, The Soldier Tanaka (1940).
