What’s New
What is DRAMA?
The word drama comes directly from a Greek word meaning "action" (Classical
Greek: δρᾶμα, drama), which is derived from "I do" (Classical Greek: δράω, drao).
Therefore, it means “to act, do or perform”.

Earliest scholars believed that drama originated in Greece, and were first written
around fifth century B.C. It evolved from choral reading in humble platforms to
complete theatrical productions.

Drama is an imitation of life. Drama is different from other forms of literature

because of its unique characteristics. It is read, but basically, it is composed to be
performed, so the ultimate aim of dramatic composition is for it to be presented on
stage before an audience (Shivaji University, Kolhapur Centre for Distance
Education, 2015-2016.

Dramatic Structure
The plot of a drama revolves around a conflict. Although plays are written in
several forms and formats, a typical structure consists of:

5
 a. Exposition When the play opens, you are introduced to the characters and
the setting is established.

Alberto S. Florentino’s The World is an Apple is a story which reflects one of

societal problem, poverty. The scene opens with Mario feeling devastated
and hopeless. He arrives home and greeted by Gloria, his wife. This is the
exposition or introduction of the play because the characters and setting
are introduced.

THE WORLD IS AN APPLE

By: Alberto S. Florentino
Characters: Mario
Gloria
Pablo
Time: Late afternoon
Scene: A small and poor home behind a portion of the Intramuros walls. There
are two wooden boxes on either side of the doorway. At left is an Acacia
tree with a wooden bench under it. Mario enters from the street at the
left. He is in his late twenties, dressed in old and worn out and with hair
that seems to have been uncut for weeks. He puts his lunch bag on the
bench, sits down, removes his shoes and puts them beside his lunch bag.

Gloria: (calls from inside) Mario! (no answer) Mario, is that you?
Mario: Yes.
(Gloria, a small woman of Mario's age, with long hair and a thin body,
comes out wiping her hands on her dress.) Gloria: I'm glad you're home early.
Mario: How is Tita? (Without waiting for an answer, he enters the dwelling.)
Gloria: (crosses to bench) Don't wake her up, Mario. She's tired; she's been
crying all day.
Mario: (reappears and crosses to bench and sits on one end) Has she been
eating well?
Gloria: She wouldn't eat even a mouthful of lugao. I'll buy her some biscuits.
Maybe she'll eat them. (She slips her fingers into his breast pocket.) I'll take
some money—

6
Mario: (rises, annoyed) Gloria! Wait a minute!
Gloria: (surprised) Hey, what's the matter? Why are you suddenly so touchy?
Mario: Who wouldn't be? I'm talking to you about the child and you bother me by
searching my pockets! I wish you'd think more of our daughter!
Gloria: (crosses to center) My God! Wasn't I think of her? Why do you think I
need some money? To buy me a pretty dress? Or see a movie?
Mario: Lower your voice. You'll wake the child up.
Gloria: (low, but intense) All I want is a little money to buy her something to eat!
She hasn't eaten anything all day! That's why I was “bothering” you!
Mario: (apologetic) I'm sorry, Gloria…(Grips her arm and turns away.)

b. Conflict is the point where the threat or challenge affects the protagonist.

Types of Conflict:
Internal Conflict (Person vs Self) usually sees troubled characters (often
the play’s protagonist) suffering from inner turmoil.
External Conflict can be between two or more characters and can be
nonverbal (psychological), verbal or physical. But some of the
theatre’s greatest plays see characters either at odds with their
environment or experiencing conflict with the world in which they
live. It could be:
Person vs. Fate/God Person vs. Person
Person vs Society Person vs. Nature
Person vs. Supernatural Person vs. Technology

The conflict of the play is when Mario fails to give his salary to Gloria and
confesses that he has lost his job because he was caught stealing an apple.

c. Rising Action leads to the climax, the tension stemming from the
story's central conflict grows through successive plot developments.

The rising action is the introduction of Pablo in the play. It can be inferred in
the play that he was the one who influenced Mario to resort in doing illegal
acts before Gloria took her husband away from him.

d. Climax is the turning point of the story. This is the highest point where
the protagonist comes face to face with and struggles against the main
conflict.

It is the part when Gloria realizes that Mario and Pablo have been working
together again.

e. Falling Action is the section of the plot following the climax, in which
the tension stemming from the story's central conflict decreases and the
story moves toward its conclusion.

7
 It is the part that Mario leaves with Pablo.

f. Denouement is the final section of a story's plot, in which loose ends

are tied up, lingering questions are answered, and a sense of resolution is
achieved.

The concluding part of the story shows that Gloria is left alone by her
husband, she sobs and screams.

Gloria: Don't, Mario, don't!

Mario: You can't make me stop now, I've been thinking about this since last
week. Gloria: Mario…(holds fast to him)
Mario: (loosens her hold) You take care of yourself and our child and I'll take care
of myself. Don't wait up for me. (Mario walks away with Pablo. Gloria stares
dumbly at them, then shouts.) Gloria: Mario!
(She covers her face with her dress and cries into it. The daughter, from inside,
joins her in crying as the curtain falls.)

Elements and Conventions of Drama

The elements of drama can be categorized into three major areas: literary
elements, technical elements, and performance elements.

Aristotle’s six Literary Elements are:

Plot refers to the action; the basic storyline of the play

Theme the main idea of the play; the lesson to be learned from the
play
Characters the people (sometimes animals or ideas) portrayed by the
actors
Music/ refers to the sound of the dialogue, musicality, pace; helps in
Rhythm establishing the mood of the play
Spectacle is the visual element of the play that includes costumes, stage
display, special effects, or anything the audience sees in the
play.
Dialogue the storylines that are spoken by the characters in the play

Other forms of characters’ speech:

Monologue : long speech given by one character to others
Soliloquy : speech by a character alone onstage to himself or herself or to
the audience
Asides : remarks made to the audience or to one character; the other
characters onstage do not hear an aside

8
Technical Elements
Set/Scenery technical equipment such as curtains, flats, backdrops, etc.
Costumes clothing and accessories

Props any movable objects that appear on stage (tables, chairs)

Lights choice of light colors, intensity, and placement of lights

the effects an audience hears during performance to

Sound
communicate character, context, or environment.
cosmetics and prosthetics used to enhance/change a
Makeup
person’s image

Performance Elements
the use of face, body, and voice to portray character
• “How does an actor assume a character’s identity
Acting and
‘become’ a different person?”
• The actor must always remain in CHARACTER.
the reason or reasons for a character’s behavior; an
Character
incentive or inducement for further action for a character
Motivation
in drama
In responding to dramatic art, the process of examining
Character
how the elements of drama –literary, technical, and
Analysis
performance –are used.
the capacity to relate to the feelings of another

Empathy  If an audience feels empathetic emotions toward a

character in a given situation, they will likely
consider that performance successful.

When you read a play, remember that it is meant to be performed for an

audience. So, in Stage Directions, playwright describes setting and
characters’ actions and manner. They are usually enclosed in brackets or
parentheses.

MRS. M: (Playfully slapping his cheek) --- Oh, you are as palikero as ever, Tony.
But come in, come in. (She moves toward the furniture and Tony
follows.) Here, sit down, Tony. How is your mother?
TONY: (As he sits down, still holding the bouquet) --- Oh, poor mother is terribly
homesick for Tondo, Aling Atang. She wants to come back here at once. MRS.
M: (Standing beside his chair, putting on an apron) – How long have you
been away?
New Yorker in Tondo, Marcelino Agana, Jr.

Types of Drama
Drama can be expressed in different types depending on the author’s intent.

9
 a play that presents its theme and characters in a
Comedy humorous way. All characters come together at the end of
the play. The ending results in a happy and successful
conclusion.

Example: New Yorker in Tondo is a famous Filipino one-act play of

Marcelino Agana Jr. written in 1956. It is a popular type of comedy which
depicts accurately the average Filipino’s faux love for the country which
was completely lost when exposed to a foreign country’s cultural
aesthetic.
is a genre of story in which a hero is brought down by
his/her own flaws, usually by ordinary human flaws – flaws
Tragedy
like greed, over-ambition, or even an excess of love,
honor, or loyalty.

Example: Oedipus the King is one of the few full surviving tragedies from
ancient Greece. In true Greek fashion, this example of tragedy involves a
powerful man—a king—who ignores the fates and casts a curse on himself.
His downfall serves as a lesson to everyone else not to envy those in
power.

Melodrama important than characterization. The “good guys” win and
the “bad guys” are punished.

and is the suave type. Right now, however, he is feeling a trifle nervous. He
starts slightly on seeing Mrs. Mendoza.)

TONY: Kikay? Is she at home?

MRS. M: (Snorting) --- Of course she is at home. She’d still sleeping!
TONY: (Glancing at his watch) ---Still sleeping!
MRS. M: She says that in New York people do not wake up before twelve o’clock
noon.
TONY: (Glancing at his watch once more) --- It’s only ten o’clock now.
MRS. M: Besides, she has been very, very busy. Uy, the life of that girl since she
came home! Welcome parties here and welcome parties there and
visitors all day long. That girl has been spinning around like a top!
TONY: (Rising disconsolately) --- Well, will you just tell her I called … to welcome
her home. Oh, and will you please give her these flowers?
MRS. M: (Taking the flowers) --- But surely, you’re not going yet, Tony. Why,
you and she grew up together! Sit right down again, Tony. I will go
and wake her up.
TONY: Oh, please don’t bother, Aling Atang. I can come back some other time.
MRS. M: (Moving away) --- You wait right there, Tony. She’ll be simply delighted
to see her old childhood friend. And she’ll want to thank you in person for these
flowers. How beautiful they are, Tony…. How expensive they must be!
TONY: (Sitting down again) --- Oh, they’re nothing at all, Aling
Atang. MRS. M: (Pausing, already at center doorway) --- Oh, Tony

TONY: Why not?
MRS. M: Kikay doesn’t like it. She says I must tell people to call me Mrs.
Mendoza. She says it’s a more civilized form of address. So … and
especially in front of Kikay…. You must call me Mrs. Mendoza.
TONY: Yes, Aling … I, mean yes, Mrs. Mendoza.
MRS. M: (Turning to go) --- Well, wait just a minute and I will call Kikay.
TONY: (To himself as he sits down) --- Hah!
MRS. M: (Turning around again) ---- Oh, and Tony …
TONY: (Jumping up again) --- Yes, Aling … I mean yes, Mrs. Mendoza.
MRS. M: You must not call Kikay, “Kikay.”

13
TONY: (Blankly) --- and what shall I call her?
MRS. M: You must call her Francesca.
TONY: Francisca?
MRS. M: Not Francisca … Fran…CES…ca.
TONY: But why Francesca?
MRS. M: She says that in New York, everybody calls her Fran-CES-ca.That is
how all those Americans in New York pronounce her name. And all she
wants everybody here to pronounce it in the same way. She says it
sounds so “chi-chi”, so Italian. Do you know that many people in New
York thought she was an Italian…an Italian from California? So be sure
and re remember; do not call her Kikay, she hates that name … call
her Fran-CES-ca.
