A play is a piece to be played during a theatrical performance, mostly written according to rules of dramatic literature. For this purpose, the text consists mainly of dialogues between the characters, and, where appropriate, information on the staging (Phoenix plays). This is in addition to stage directions: setting, geographical location, light and sound environment, movement of characters (with borderline cases because some parts are made without verbal dialogue, eg Acts without Words by Samuel Beckett).
Finally, in twentieth century, some authors, such as Jean Anouilh Jean Giraudoux with Antigone or with Electra, show ancient myths. One sees the political theater, in which the authors put their philosophical ideas, as Albert Camus Caligula. Some writers like Ionesco react strongly to this absurd political theater by parts, in which the author depict scenes without apparent meaning to viewer think differently.
However, Alfred de Musset, whose plays have been performed on stage as his late romantic drama baffled theater directors, developed the idea of theater to read under the "show in a wheelchair." Playwright Ionesco has established new rules for the theater in his book Notes and against pad. These are based mainly on the deterioration of language in favor of theater of absurd. Another playwright of twentieth century following the rules of Ionesco is Beckett. The two main types of plays are comedy and tragedy.
A topic can have tragic drama or comedy, depending on the situations. In sense of common use instead, we tend to designate by this term painful events or life problems, or other events of tragic. Play can be represented by different types of media: live entertainment, film and television.
The play are mostly written in verse. We then distinguish two different genres: comedy - as, for example, L'Avare by Moliere, which was inspired by Plautus Aulularia - and tragedy - as, for example, Jean Racine's Phedre, inspired by Euripides . Many tragedies are inspired by mythology. However there are also more baroque genres, such as comedy-ballet or parts to machines.
In eighteenth century, one sees a variety of comedies. Still exist comedy of intrigue and comedy of manners, such as The Game of Love and Chance Island or slaves Marivaux, but social criticism becomes more vigorous, as in Barber of Seville and The Marriage Figaro by Beaumarchais, works in which he openly criticized the aristocracy. Also appear tearful comedy, then the bourgeois drama, playing on emotion and sensitivity of spectators.
The combination of drama-conflict is often expressed in fields other than strictly theatrical often referred to literary works intended for the stage, talking about their dramatic, or musical works or similarly with the other arts. A classic drama does not have a very precise connotation. Generally usually indicates the dramas of tragic and comic in world greek and latin lived in Athens of fifth century BC Rome until the first century A. D. Depending on the historical period, the classic drama now presents itself as politically / religiously committed and now as a simple fun of upper classes.
Towards the end of nineteenth century (1887) appears a radically different kind, realistic drama, illustrated by Henry Becque and the Theatre Libre of Antoine that fits texts that were not originally intended for theater and s' open to foreign authors. It play Tolstoy, Balzac, but also Giovanni Verga or Turgenev. And unpublished works of famous writers: the Goncourt brothers, Villiers de L'Isle Adam1
