A play is a piece to be played during a theatrical performance, mostly written according to rules of dramatic literature. For this purpose, the text consists mainly of dialogues between the characters, and, where appropriate, information on the staging (Phoenix plays). This is in addition to stage directions: setting, geographical location, light and sound environment, movement of characters (with borderline cases because some parts are made without verbal dialogue, eg Acts without Words by Samuel Beckett).
Finally, in twentieth century, some authors, such as Jean Anouilh Jean Giraudoux with Antigone or with Electra, show ancient myths. One sees the political theater, in which the authors put their philosophical ideas, as Albert Camus Caligula. Some writers like Ionesco react strongly to this absurd political theater by parts, in which the author depict scenes without apparent meaning to viewer think differently.
However, Alfred de Musset, whose plays have been performed on stage as his late romantic drama baffled theater directors, developed the idea of theater to read under the "show in a wheelchair." Playwright Ionesco has established new rules for the theater in his book Notes and against pad. These are based mainly on the deterioration of language in favor of theater of absurd. Another playwright of twentieth century following the rules of Ionesco is Beckett. The two main types of plays are comedy and tragedy.
The liturgical drama is closely related to ritual is recited in Latin by priests who support the most diverse parts and change identity not through customs or physical transformations, as through a stylized exterior. In figure of priest-actor believers contemplate the coveted anticipation of coming of Christ on earth.
The liturgical drama, as opposed to classical one, does not adopt the criterion of three Aristotelian unities and is expressed in better shape pictorial representation. If the classical drama staged one done in a linear and in one place, the drama follows the medieval against the hero in all of its age: it is represented, for example, the time when Jesus resurrected Lazarus, but throughout the life of protagonist. Necessarily the scene becomes multiple, created by different scenes aligned and separated from each other by a compartment: the so-called "appointed places."
The concept of drama and drama is related more to a dialogue not a monologue or a poem (although it could be etymologically related to any form of literature devoted to scene). It is the presence oft least one other actor in dialogue that can better express the main feature of drama: the contrast between at least two different elements. Bernard Shaw, introducing his first volume of plays, says: "There is no play without conflict." A conflict can also occur in a lightweight text, and is its backbone.
The early nineteenth century saw the birth of romantic drama, a mixture of comedy and tragedy. This illustrates the literary genre of current era, romanticism, which is opposed to classicism. The rule of three units disappear, except for the unity of action, and the authors write in poetic prose or verse. Mention may be made with Alfred de Musset Lorenzaccio, with Victor Hugo Hernani, works in which the hero is marked by fate. The most popular genres are emerging: vaudeville, melodrama, theater boulevard.
Towards the end of nineteenth century (1887) appears a radically different kind, realistic drama, illustrated by Henry Becque and the Theatre Libre of Antoine that fits texts that were not originally intended for theater and s' open to foreign authors. It play Tolstoy, Balzac, but also Giovanni Verga or Turgenev. And unpublished works of famous writers: the Goncourt brothers, Villiers de L'Isle Adam1
