A play is a piece to be played during a theatrical performance, mostly written according to rules of dramatic literature. For this purpose, the text consists mainly of dialogues between the characters, and, where appropriate, information on the staging (Phoenix plays). This is in addition to stage directions: setting, geographical location, light and sound environment, movement of characters (with borderline cases because some parts are made without verbal dialogue, eg Acts without Words by Samuel Beckett).
The current scholarly and secular seek to perpetuate as much as possible the worship of ancient literature; between its forms are the "mime-friendly patrician" and "elegiac comedy, " both written in Latin and invoice more literary than dramatic (in fact were read in small circles).
The religious currents - to remedy the corruption of morals - trying to reconcile the religious spirit of new with the old pagan forms. The result is the sacred representation: it traces its birth holy homily, when it becomes dialogic educational purposes and exhortation. A more valid argument traces the passion play in development of Roman liturgy, which is already in its pure form is filled celebration of dramatic elements (the sacrifice of Mass as a symbolic representation, in form of dialogue between the celebrant and assistants).
The origins of later back to antiquity. Greek tragedies played in religious rites in honor of god Dionysus. These ancient themes are included in sixteenth century by the first playwrights as Garnier or Jodelle, and in seventeenth century by authors such as Corneille, who began by writing baroque comedy and tragicomedy, as Le Cid. But gradually imposed in name of verisimilitude, respect for rules specific to classical theater: the rule of decency and the rule of three units.
The liturgical drama, as opposed to classical one, does not adopt the criterion of three Aristotelian unities and is expressed in better shape pictorial representation. If the classical drama staged one done in a linear and in one place, the drama follows the medieval against the hero in all of its age: it is represented, for example, the time when Jesus resurrected Lazarus, but throughout the life of protagonist. Necessarily the scene becomes multiple, created by different scenes aligned and separated from each other by a compartment: the so-called "appointed places."
The concept of drama and drama is related more to a dialogue not a monologue or a poem (although it could be etymologically related to any form of literature devoted to scene). It is the presence oft least one other actor in dialogue that can better express the main feature of drama: the contrast between at least two different elements. Bernard Shaw, introducing his first volume of plays, says: "There is no play without conflict." A conflict can also occur in a lightweight text, and is its backbone.
The early nineteenth century saw the birth of romantic drama, a mixture of comedy and tragedy. This illustrates the literary genre of current era, romanticism, which is opposed to classicism. The rule of three units disappear, except for the unity of action, and the authors write in poetic prose or verse. Mention may be made with Alfred de Musset Lorenzaccio, with Victor Hugo Hernani, works in which the hero is marked by fate. The most popular genres are emerging: vaudeville, melodrama, theater boulevard.
Theatre, sometimes drama or spectacle, is a type of performing art, which aims to act, talk, produce or display stories, ideas or feelings to an audience. This is usually done through dialogue, namely speech and gestures between the different characters, played, or acted by actors. They must be able to express alternative personalities, ages, voices, sex, and body postures.
