What is Drama All about?

As a mean of expression and communication, drama- quite apart from telling stories or providing models of social situations in action- is to a very considerable extent concerned with the recreations of human states of emotions.

The play which communicates to us important lessons about social behaviour, which tells us a gripping story, may also open up to unknown areas of emotional experiences through powerful poetic images.
 
Drama is as multifaced in its images, as ambivalent in its meanings, as the world it mirrors. That is its main strength, its characteristics as a mode of expression-and its greatness.

-Martin Esslin,
An anatomy of Drama
 
 
 
In everyday life, 'if' is a fiction, in the theatre 'if' is an experiment. 
 
In everyday life, 'if' is an evasion, in the theatre 'if' is the truth.
 
When we are persuaded to believe in this truth, then the theatre and life are one.
 
This is a high aim. It sounds like hard work.
 
To play needs much work. But when we experience the work as a play, then it is not work any more.
 
A play is play.
 
-Peter Brook
