Elements of Drama
A drama is a story written to be performed by actors before an audience. The script of a dramatic work, or play, includes dialogue and often stage directions. Dialogue refers to the conversation between characters. Stage directions are the instructions written by the playwright to describe the appearance and actions of the characters as well as the sets, props, costumes, sound effects, and lighting.
