Drama is a form of literature—either prose or verse, usually in dialogue form—intended for performance; dramatic arts are the components necessary for writing and producing the drama, such as playwriting, acting, and costume and scenic design.
The word drama comes from a Greek word meaning “to do,” and thus drama is usually associated with the idea of action. Most often, drama is thought of as a story about events in the lives of characters. As the adjective dramatic indicates, the ideas of conflict, tension, contrast, and emotion are usually associated with drama. |
