dramatics

n. drama, play; melodramatic behavior

Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance. It is derived from a Greek word meaning "action" (Classical Greek ), derived from "to do" (Classical Greek ).Dramas are performed in various : theatre, radio, film, and television. Drama is often combined with music and dance: the drama in opera is sung throughout; musicals include spoken dialogue and songs; and some forms of drama have regular musical accompaniment (melodrama and Japanese Nō, for example). In certain periods of history (the ancient Roman and modern Romantic) dramas have been written to be read rather than performed. In improvisation, the drama does not pre-exist the moment of performance; performers devise a dramatic script spontaneously before an audience.
