Famous quotes containing the word drama:

    In a drama of the highest order there is little food for censure or hatred; it teaches rather self-knowledge and self- respect.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    If melodrama is the quintessence of drama, farce is the quintessence of theatre. Melodrama is written. A moving image of the world is provided by a writer. Farce is acted. The writer’s contribution seems not only absorbed but translated.... One cannot imagine melodrama being improvised. The improvised drama was pre-eminently farce.
    Eric Bentley (b. 1916)
