296.WHEN DID DRAMA BEGIN?

The word “drama” comes from a Greek term meaning a thing done. A drama tells a story by means of action and speech.

 

We do not know exactly when drama began. It grew out of religious ceremonies in which the life of a god was portrayed by a man or a group of men. The drama that we know today goes back to the times of ancient Greece.
