2 Exploring Elements of Drama A drama, or play, is a story written to be performed by actors. It features Characters facing a conflict, or struggle, that propels the sequence of events called the plot. The conflict reaches a climax, the point of greatest tension, and is then resolved. The dialogue, or speeches of the characters, tells the story, and not, as in fiction, the voice or the narrator. Acts and scenes are the basic units of drama. A drama may consist of one or more acts, each of which may contain any number of scenes. The author of a play, called the playwright, provides the script, or text, of a play. The script contains both dialogue and stage directions. Stage directions tell how the work is to be performed, or staged. Providing details about sets, lighting, sound effects, props, costumes, and acting, directions were often printed in italics and set of in brackets. Some playwrights use abbreviations to provide additional direction about where on or offstage a speech may be delivered. These include O.S. for offstage; D.S.; for downstage, or close to the audience; and U.S. for upstage, or far from the audience. Sets are the constructions indicating where the drama takes place. A set include painted backdrops, wooden frames, and other elements. Props are movable objects, like swords or pens, that actors use on stage. All the elements of drama combine in performance to produce the vivid illusion of reality known as dramatic effect. Through this effect, the dramatist explores a theme, or insight into life.
3 Types of Drama and Dramatic Speech The ancient Greeks, who developed drama, created two types of plays: A tragedy shows the downfall or death of the tragic hero, or main character. In ancient Greek drama, the hero was an outstanding person brought low by a tragic flaw, a mistaken action or defect in character. In modern tragedy, the hero can be an ordinary person destroyed by an evil in society. Greek tragedy included the chorus, a group of performers who commented on the action. William Shakespeare sometimes used a single actor to perform the role of the chorus. A comedy has a happy ending, usually after an amusing series of predicaments. While tragedy emphasizes human greatness, comedy stresses the weakness of ordinary people or society itself. For both kids of drama, you sometimes need to understand the historical context, the background of the era in which the play is set or written. In addition to dialogue involving conversations between two or more characters, dramatists use the types of dramatic speech: A monologue is a long, uninterrupted speech delivered by a character to other characters who are onstage but remain silent. A soliloquy is a speech in which a character alone on stage reveals private thoughts and feelings that the audience is allowed to overhear. An aside is a brief remark in which a character expresses private thoughts to the audience rather than to other characters.

11 Summary: Pyramus and Thisbe The tragic story Pyramus and Thisbe sounds very much like Romeo and Juliet, and one wonders if it is where William Shakespeare got his inspiration for the play. The tale was first told by Ovid in Metamorphoses. This Roman myth is as follows. Two neighboring youths, Pyramus and Thisbe, fall in love. The only problem is that their families hate each other. They are forbidden to meet in person, so they communicate through a small chink in the shared wall between their houses. One day, they decide to meet at Ninus' tomb. (Ninus is believed to be the one who started the city of Nineveh, capital of Assyria.) They long to be together, as lovers do, to declare their feelings in person. However, a horrible misunderstanding ensues! When Thisbe arrives, she sees a lioness with a bloody mouth who has just finished killing her prey. Terrified, Thisbe flees, but leaves behind her veil. The lioness randomly shreds the veil, smearing it with blood. When Pyramus arrives, he sees the veil, and he is horrified, assuming the lioness has slaughtered Thisbe. As was the Roman way, he commits suicide by falling on his sword. As he falls, his blood stains the white fruit born by the Mulberry tree. Thisbe returns to the tomb to find Pyramus dead. Grief stricken, she, too falls on Pyramus' sword and kills herself. In pity, the gods permanently turn the fruit of Mulberry trees a crimson color. Do you think this is an appropriate selection to preform at a wedding?
