Tragedy and
Drama
● Comes from Greek word
“Dran” (to do).
● It is, as Aristotle defined it, an
“imitation of action.”
● Drama is different from fiction
because it is a staged act.
David Tennant and Patrick
Stewart starring in Hamlet,
2011.
●
Plays are written to be
performed and viewed.
●
Like fiction possess a
narrative dimension
●
● Dame Diana Rigg starring in
Hedda Gabler, 1981.
The Words In Plays
● You can read plays, but
need to keep the literary
and theatrical dimensions
in mind.
● Plays will narrate a story
in form of a plot.
● Like fiction it will rely on
dialogue and description.
● Drama is a mimetic art, which imitates or
represents human life and experiences.
● Viewers have active engagement with the
actors on stage through their speech and
movements.
● Drama is primarily a verbal art.
Drama and Experience
Drama
● Drama is immediate; even if a play has a
flashback, it is brought into the present for
viewers to see.
● The great pleasure of drama is its ability to
show human life in a meaningful way.
● The interactions of characters and how they
respond and relate to one another becomes
the source of meaning for the play.
● Drama is a composite art
that makes use of other
forms.
● Architecture, lighting,
shadowing, etc can
greatly change
interpretation.
● Music and sound can be
added.
Drama and The Stage
● Katie Holmes and John Lithgow
in All My Sons, 2008.
How To Read Drama
● Actually do the reading.
● Pay attention to elements of
performance.
● Use imagination to hear
voice, stage placement, and
gestures.
● If you directed, how would
you approach it?
Eve Best and James Frain in
The Homecoming, 2007.
