Definition

  • Drama has been a major vehicle for creative expression since the dawn of human development through early religious rituals, reenactment of natural phenomena, and the inclination of humans for storytelling. Dramatic representation is characterized by communicating a universal truth about common human experiences such as love, death, loyalty, jealousy, lust, change, or moral conflict.
