Good day my follow steemians today i will love to write on the topic drama,but first of all what is drama.
Drama is an imaginative composition, either in prose or verse, to be performed by actors on stage. It's a representation of life on stage ment through action and dialogue.
There are two types of drama,namely: tragedy and comedy. While tragedy depicts serious conflict that often leads to death of the (tragic) hero, comedy is intended to amuse and often ends on a happy note.

FEATURES OF DRAMA
Theme: This is the message that a play communicates to its audience or readers. A play is not just staged or written for the purpose of entertainment. In addition to its entertainment value, a play also teaches or audience some fundamental lessons about life.
Costumes: costumes are another important feature of drama. Just as everyday clothes reveal the identity or profession of a person, so do costumes reveal the identity of a character in drama.

OBJECTIVES OF COSTUMES
- costumes reveal the setting of a play. The costumes used in a play should tell the audience about the time and place of action.
- Costumes also indicate the nature of the characters. Costumes tell the audience the personalities of characters. The way an aristocraric characters dresses will not be the way a commoner would do.
- Moreover, costumes show the relationship between characters.
Major and minor characters can be set apart by their costumes. Warriors under a commander in a play will not be costumes the same way as their commander. - Costumes are also designed to meet the needs of actors. Actors who are meant to dance or wrestle will definitely not be dressed in flowing regalia. They will be dressed in such a way that they would be able to effectively carry out their performance.
