Definition

  • A playwright creates literature that is typically designed to be performed by actors on a stage. Because of the interactive nature of theater in general, a final dramatic piece may be the accumulation of creative contributions by the playwright, a director, a dramaturge, a choreographer, actors, reviewers, and sometimes the audience.
