Drama

The Concise Oxford Companion to the Theatre | 1996 | | Â© The Concise Oxford Companion to the Theatre 1996, originally published by Oxford University Press 1996. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Drama, term applied loosely to the whole body of work written for the theatre or to a group of plays related by their style, content, or period, as Restoration drama, realistic drama. It is also applied specifically to any situation in which there is conflict and, for theatrical purposes, resolution of that conflict. This implies the co-operation of at least two actors, or, as in early Greek drama, a Protagonist and chorus, and rules out narrative and monologue. The dramatic instinct is inherent in man, and the most rudimentary dialogue with song and dance may be classed as drama. In a narrower sense the word is applied to plays of high emotional content, which at their best may give us literary masterpieces and at their worst degenerate into melodrama. The term dramatist is not necessarily restricted to a writer of such dramas, but serves, like playwright, to designate anyone writing for the theatre.
