Drama
Drama is a composition of prose poetry or poetry that is transformed into a performance on stage. The
story progresses through interaction between its characteristics and ends with a message for the
audience.
Elements of Drama
Theme
The theme of the play refers to its central idea. It can either be clearly stated through dialog or action, or
can be inferred after watching the entire performance. It is also the philosophy that forms the base of
the story or a moral lesson that the characters learn. It is the message that the play gives to the
audience. For example, the theme of a play could be of how greed leads to one’s destroyal, or how
wrong use of authority ultimately results in the end of power. It could also be blind love or the strength
of selfless love and sacrifices, or true friendship.
Plot
This refers to the order of recurring events in a play. Essentially, the plot is the story that the play
narrates. The entertainment value of a play depends largely on the sequence in the play. The connection
between the events and the characters in them form an integral part of a plot. What the characters do,
how they interact, the course of their lives as narrated by the story, and what happens to them in the
end, constitutes the plot. A struggle between two individuals, the relationship between them, a struggle
with self, a dilemma, or any form of conflict of one character with himself or another character in the
play, goes into forming the story’s plot. Generally, a story begins with exposing the past or background
of the main and other characters, and the point the climax and the play ends with a conclusion.

Characters
Characters are the actors and actresses of the play. The characters that form part of the story are
interwoven with the plot of the drama. Each character in a play has a personality of its own and a set of
principle and beliefs. Actors in the play have the responsibility of bringing the characters to life. The
main character in the play who the audience identified with, is the protagonist. The character that the
protagonist conflicts with, is the antagonist or villain.

Dialog

The story of a ply is taken forward by means of dialogs. The story is narrated to the audiences through
the interaction between the play’s characters, which is in the form of dialogs. The content of the dialogs
and the quality of their delivery have a major role to play in the impact that the play has on the
audiences. It is through the dialogs between characters that the story can be understood. They are
important in revealing the personalities of the characters. The words used, the accent, tone, pattern of
speech, and even the pauses in speech, say a lot about the character and reveal not just his personality,
but also his social status, past and family background as given by the play. Monologues and soliloquies
that are speeches given to oneself or to other characters’ help put forward points that would have been
difficult to express through dialogs.

Setting

The time and the place where a story is set is one of its important parts. The era or time in which the
incidents in the play tale place, influence the characters in their appearance and personalities. The time
setting may affect the central theme of the play, the issues raised (if any), the conflict, and the
interactions between the characters. The historical and social context of the play is also defined by the
time and place where it is set. Costumes and make up, the backgrounds and the furniture used, the
visuals (colors and kind of lighting), and the sound are among the important elements of a play that
dictate how the story id translated into a stage performance.
