Drama is a type of literature written to be performed on stage. Perhaps the most famous examples of drama are Shakespeare's plays, such as Romeo and Juliet. The performance of a drama, and its study, is called dramatic arts or theater. The term "drama" comes from the Greek "δρᾶμα" (a deed or act; by extension an action (praxis) represented on a stage).
