A drama, or play, is a form of literature that is meant to be performed by actors in front of an audience. The author of a play is called a playwright or dramatist. In some ways, a play is similar to a story. A play is structured in the following way: A play is divided into acts, which are like chapters in a book. Each act can be divided into smaller sections, called scenes. A scene presents an episode of the plot and usually occurs at a single place and time. A play’s plots unfolds in a series of episodes as it moves toward a resolution, similar to a story. A short drama, like “The Prince and the Pauper,” may be presented as a one-act play, in which each episode of the plot is presented as one scene. Describing drama

The written format of a play consists of these elements: A drama is written in the form of a script. A script usually consists of a cast of characters, dialogue, and stage directions. A cast of characters is a list of all the characters in the play, often in order of appearance. This list is usually found at the beginning of the play and sometimes includes descriptions of the characters. In drama, dialogue (written conversation between two or more characters) and actions tell the story. Characters’ dialogue reveals their thoughts, feelings, and traits as the plot moves forward. Stage directions are instructions in the text about how to perform the drama. Some stage directions tell about the scenery and setting. Other stage directions appear within the dialogue to explain to actors how to say or emphasize a line or speech, or to describe a physical action the character should perform.

Bell work #2 Think about the phrase, “be careful what you wish for.” Have you ever really wanted something and when you got it realized it wasn’t so great after all? Or, maybe you really wanted something, and it was better than you expected? What did you wish for? Was it as great as you expected? Why or why not?

Describing drama Although a drama is similar to a story, one important difference is that a play is meant to be performed. Watching a play and reading a play are two different experiences. Think about this as you analyze “The Prince and the Pauper” and other dramas, using questions such as the following: How is the play structured? Is it divided into acts, or is it just one act? Why might the playwright have chosen this structure? What is the play’s main conflict? How does the plot unfold, and how is the conflict solved? Who are the main characters? How do I learn about what they are like and how they respond to events? How is the experience of reading a drama different from watching a live performance of it? In what ways does the script help me? (COLLECTIONS TEXT BOOK PG. 361)

If someone replaced you, why would they want to be you?

Quickwrite The end of each version of “The Prince and the Pauper” ends with the prince being kicked out of the palace. Why do the writers create a conflict at the end of the scene? What conclusion can you make? How do you think it will drive the rest of the story?
