9 3.What is drama? Drama refers to all kinds of plays. Plays are written to be acted on stage. So, in other words, a play is a story which is acted out. The word drama comes from the Greek word, which means action. The ancient Greeks watched plays in open-air theatres more than 2000 years ago. Women were not allowed to act in those days, so men had to wear masks for different characters. Today, these marks are the symbols of drama. The picture of the two masks shows a happy face and a sad face. They represent two main kinds of drama that people watched then: comedy and tragedy. Generally speaking, a comedy has a happy ending and a tragedy has a sad ending. Just as there are many different kinds of stories to read, there are also many different kinds of plays to watch. Here are some examples: Improvisation - actors get little or no time to prepare for the play. Role Play - actors pretend to be a character and act out a scene. Mime - only facial expression and body language are used in the performance. Masked drama - the main props are masks and the actors use only their voices for expression. Puppet plays - puppets become the characters. Performance poetry - actors act out the story from a poem. Musical - actors use speaking and singing to tell a story. Pantomime - a funny play for children that is usually performed at Christmas. You are going to study a play this term called, Every dog has its day by Helen Brain and Ted Faulkner.
10 What do you think this play could be about? Prepare to read 1. Study the title Every dog has its day. a) Choose which explanation below explains what this saying means: Every dog has its day of the week. Every dog and person has a time when they can shine. Every dog has a day when they die. b) Use the title and its meaning to predict what you think this play will be about. 2. Plays are all about people and so characterisation is important. a) Look at the character list on the next page and predict who you think the main character will be. b) Make connections between the names and see if your connections are correct as you read the play. 3. Copy 7 of these diagrams below into your books. Fill them in for the following characters as you read the play. Adjectives: Character: Round Flat Proof: Proof: Proof: Protagonist Antagonist
11 Every dog has its day By Helen Brain and Ted Faulkner The cast Eva Gran Mom Dad Dumi Brent Feroza Learners Mrs Rinquest (class teacher) Professor Ngcobo Mr Lategan Characters The setting The action takes place in a suburban kitchen, a classroom, a principal s office, on a river bank and in a school hall.

The table can be upturned to represent a rock in the river.) A toy dog (Dachshund size) Files for the school children A large coffee table type book A basket A backpack The list of objects needed
12 The staging The play needs pace and flow, therefore a curtain is unnecessary. Use overhead lighting to isolate characters, such as the grandmother who is the narrator. If possible, an interchangeable backdrop can be created with painted background scenes on boards: the interior of a kitchen with a window, the back wall of a classroom and a scene showing vegetation.

14 1. Folklore Definition: A traditional story that is passed on from generation to generation. It often teaches a moral and includes unrealistic elements.

Characterisation: describing distinctive characteristics and essential features of the character. Setting: the place or type of surroundings where the event takes place.

Let your plot lead to an exciting climax of the story. The Climax: MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE STORY that has the main character solving the situation.
