''what is drama''

Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance.[1] It is derived from a Greek word meaning "action" (Classical Greek δράμα), derived from "to do" (Classical Greek δράω).
Dramas are performed in various media: 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).[2] In certain periods of history (the ancient Roman and modern Romantic) dramas have been written to be read rather than performed.[3] In improvisation, the drama does not pre-exist the moment of performance; performers devise a dramatic script spontaneously before an audience.
