Dramatic (theatrical) refers to a style of performance that emphasizes strong emotions, conflict, and storytelling. It often involves actors portraying characters in a scripted narrative, typically presented on a stage. The use of dialogue, movement, and visual elements like sets and costumes enhances the overall impact of the performance. This genre can include various forms, such as tragedy, comedy, and musical theater. Dramatic works aim to engage the audience, provoking thought and emotional responses. Notable playwrights in this field include William Shakespeare and Tennessee Williams, whose works continue to influence modern theater.
