What is drama?
- Drama is prose or verse telling a story intended for representation
by actors through dialogue or action.
- It is sometimes referred to as a play—features characters caught
up in a plot, or series of events in a storyline. Just like in fiction,
the plot is the trajectory of the story. Plays and novels are actually
very similar in this way.
 Elements of Drama
Plot: This is what happens in the play. Plot refers to the action; the basic
storyline of the play.
Theme: While plot refers to the action of the play, theme
refers to the meaning of the play. Theme is the main idea or lesson to
be learned from the play. In some cases, the theme of a play is obvious;
other times it is quite subtle.
Characters: Characters are the people (sometimes animals or
ideas) portrayed by the actors in the play. It is the characters who move
the action, or plot, of the play forward.
Dialogue: This refers to the words written by the playwright and spoken
by the characters in the play. The dialogue helps move the action of the
play along.
Genre: Genre refers to the type of play. Some examples of different
genres include comedy, tragedy, mystery and historical play.
Audience: This is the group of people who watch the play. Many
playwrights an actor consider the audience to be the most important
element of drama
