My experience with drama



One of the most ancient forms of entertainment is drama.

To this day we enjoy plays and drama; difference is that the form has changed but the format has not. Personally, I like to read drama from time to time, though I must admit that I am still a noob in this sector of literature. To be honest, I have never been to a live play or jatra before but I have had glimpses of them on the television and they seemed quite fun. Here, I should add that I have been to school dramas.

Though I have never been a part of drama but I had the privilege of enjoying them in our school auditorium. The performers were amateurs but their zeal was enough to get one hooked.I believe live drama are really important for modern life. With advancement of time and technology, people tend to spend more time in their homes. Introverts are increasing. But drama is a great way for social interactions as well developing speaking skills and becoming more fluent in expressing oneself. Not only that, live drama are also quite enjoyable and are quite harmless in contrast to other technological media which expel a lot of harmful radiation.


I have not read many plays. But the few I read for school are quite pleasant. I learnt not only the messages they convey but also other aspects like the intricate pattern and delightful diction of the dialogue. Unlike fiction, drama is a lot better thought out because they are heavily dependent on dialogues to create a certain mood. They surroundings are to created artificially or act out where in fiction only words are used to describe a situation. Also, the dialogues are to be written so that the audience understand them clearly, they do not become monotonous and also they dispense some sort of art in them. I believe these are the reasons drama was once so popular and still is (via movies and serials). Anyways, I believe plays and drama should be more widely advertised and encouraged so that people may actually get the chance to appreciate them and what they have contributed to the modern entertainment.
