Introduction
Drama is possibly the most universal tool of storytelling. In nearly every culture, some form of dramatic expression has manifested itself, sometimes independently of neighboring cultures. Since its inception thousands of years ago, the idea of drama has come to encompass numerous concepts. Early societies rooted in oral traditions often incorporated playacting into their religious and cultural traditions. Drama now typically refers to any serious story without the extreme characteristic of tragedy. Some critics seek to distinguish drama from theater, defining the former as an academic and literary discipline, and the latter as a performance-based one, but that distinction becomes increasingly difficult to make when watching some of the world's greatest plays: Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Ibsen's A Doll's House, or Miller's Death of a Salesman.Essential Facts
- From the Greek word for “to do,” drama has always been linked to the idea of action and conflict.
- Many believe that drama evolved out of the rituals and storytelling of ancient societies. In Greece, tragedy and comedy grew out of religious festivals honoring the god Dionysus.
- Eastern dramatic forms such as Chinese opera, Sanskrit drama, and Noh theater differ greatly from their Western counterparts. Dance plays a much greater role in these highly symbolic and metaphorical works, and notions of realistic representation are irrelevant.
- Following a nearly 1,000-year hiatus after the fall of the Roman Empire, drama was once again revived in the medieval period when dramatic interpretations of scripture were incorporated into liturgical services. These performances became increasingly secular and eventually moved out of the church.
- During the Interregnum period in England in the mid-1600s, dramatic performances were outlawed and theaters were closed for approximately a decade. With the restoration of Charles II, the ban was lifted.
