Famous quotes containing the word drama:

    It’s hard enough to write a good drama, it’s much harder to write a good comedy, and it’s hardest of all to write a drama with comedy. Which is what life is.
    Jack Lemmon (b. 1925)

    A good drama critic is one who perceives what is happening in the theatre of his time. A great drama critic also perceives what is not happening.
    Kenneth Tynan (1927–1980)

    Only in the problem play is there any real drama, because drama is no mere setting up of the camera to nature: it is the presentation in parable of the conflict between Man’s will and his environment: in a word, of problem.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
