Drama is a distinct form of fiction presented through performance. Originating from the Greek word meaning "action" (Classical Greek: δρᾶμα, drama), derived from "to do" or "to act" (Classical Greek: δράω, draō), it involves theatrical enactment by actors before an audience. The collaborative nature of production and collective reception underpins the essence of dramatic performance in theatre.
Additionally, the term "drama" is sometimes used synonymously with "dramatic," encapsulating situations of misfortunes that evoke vivid emotions.
