Theatre, Play and Drama
Three neighbours

From our previous lectures, Dr.Edwin has taught us what is the difference between a theatre, play and drama. Before taking this course EDU 3217 Teaching the Language of
Drama, I do not know what is the difference between those 3 types of conventions. But after taking this course, I was able to get a clear view on what are those 3 conventions. Here I will briefly state what is the difference between those 3.

become a theatre

what to do.

performance which acting
