Modern drama

Drama is a form of drama based on dialogue, which was introduced to China at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century. Different from traditional stage plays and traditional operas, the main narrative means of drama is the dialogue or monologue of actors without accompaniment on the stage, but a small amount of music and singing can be used.

Drama is a comprehensive art, and script creation, director, performance, beauty of dance, lighting and criticism are indispensable. China's traditional drama is not drama, and some western traditional dramas, such as ancient Greek dramas, are not strictly dramas because of their extensive use of chorus. Modern western stage plays are generally dramas if they are not labeled as musicals, operas, etc.
