Dramatic literature
Template:
A drama that is less stage and production worthy than it is good reading is a literary drama. Some dramatic literature may be read by actors on stage without any stagecraft, such as the Book of Job. Very good examples of theatre and of acting without a stage occur in radio drama. Literacy dramas or dramatic literature may sometimes require only one protagonist and only one actor or the reader's mind to portray him. While the absence of enaction on the stage allows for concentration on subjective thoughts and feelings of his characters by the dramatist, it also inclines his theatrical piece to windy rhetoric and boring monologue.
