Some notes on what to look for in drama texts
Drama text can be read like other literary forms, but it must be remembered that drama is written principally for performance.
It is most likely that:
-
description will be incidental to the development of character and plot
-
its stories will be developed to produce sustained scenes in one time and place
-
characters will be distinguished by their speech and appearance
-
action will begin immediately the performance begins
-
dialogue will be realistic
-
conflict will be open and visible
