What is Drama?

 

Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance: a play, opera, mime, ballet, etc., performed in a theatre, or on radio or television.

Types of Drama.

• Comedy: Comedies are intended to make the audience laugh and usually come to a happy ending.
• Tragedy: Tragedies portray serious subjects like death, disaster, and human suffering in a dignified and thought-provoking way.
• Farce: A farce is a nonsensical genre of drama in which characters intentionally overact and engage in slapstick or physical humor. 
• Melodrama: An exaggerated form of drama, melodramas depict classic one-dimensional characters such as heroes, heroines, and villains dealing with sensational, romantic, and often perilous situations.
• Opera: This versatile genre of drama combines theater, dialogue, music, and dance to tell grand stories of tragedy or comedy.
