“There was never
yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the
dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy.” Mark Twain
Dramas can be performed in various media: live performance,
radio,
film, and-or
television. "Closet
dramas" are works written in the same form as plays (with dialogue,
scenes, and "stage directions"), but meant to be read rather than staged;
examples include the plays of
Seneca,
Manfred
by
Byron, and
Prometheus Unbound by
Percy Bysshe Shelley. Other dramatic literature may not resemble plays
at all, such as the
Imaginary Conversations of
Walter Savage Landor. Drama is also often combined with music and
dance, such as in
opera which
is sung throughout, musicals which include spoken dialog and songs, or
plays that have musical accompaniment, such as the Japanese
Noh drama.
