(Greek: drao, I perform)
Composition in prose or verse adapted for the stage, in which a story is related by means of dialogue and action with accompanying gestures, costumes, and scenery. It assumes the two principal forms of tragedy and comedy and is usually divided into acts and scenes. Probably the greatest European dramatists of all times have been Shakespeare and Calderón.
