The dramatic style is the way in which a play is presented on stage, and any era will have different styles with which the chosen authors might connect or innovatively breakaway from.
Dramatic style can be identified by features in the play based on the essence of the period (seen in the writing) in which it is set so influences seen could be: • Scientific • Religious • Cultural • Prevalent belief system.
Dramatic Style uses an understanding of this to create a presentation of a play, so scenery, costumes anything that will influence the style of the production.
We define style as: how thoughts are expressed in literary composition, the specific characteristics of the scene, including choice of words, syntax and genre syntax
The starting point should always be the dramatic style of the period when a piece was written. If the piece itself has been written to depict an earlier era, than an informed discussion will naturally move onto the dramatic style of the period that the writer wishes to depict.
