Everybody likes a little drama. At least when it comes to entertainment, drama has remained the staple since its inception more than 2000 years ago. Drama became known as "theatre" in England and France and then rapidly acquired popularity throughout Europe. Drama encourages divergent thinking and the same can be said for London theatre drama shows. The Elizabethan period saw the beginning of the golden age of drama in the European theatre, which helped to pave the way for international play. Since then, London has established itself as a major global venue for theatrical shows, and tickets for London theatre drama shows are in high demand. Many people agree that drama has the capacity to enhance empathy in everyone, regardless of age. So, if you're in for some good quality entertainment, you cannot go wrong with a London theatre drama show.
What Are The Different Types of London Theatre Drama Shows?
Comedy
A comedy is generally a light-hearted drama with funny or witty characters who spout witticisms and double entendres and follow improbable storylines, with eventual happy-ever-afters. Comedies are often hugely popular and used to impart social messages on weighty subjects in a humorous manner.
London Comedies
Musical
This kind of drama has a strong plot filled with music. There can be lots of singing and dancing, as well as an original and pleasing soundtrack. The experiences and situations that characters sing about together as a group or individual may be the most essential and visible facet of musical drama.
London Musicals
Opera
An extremely compelling and age-old form of drama that enjoys a noteworthy place in the London theatre drama productions, Operas feature songs as dialogues rather than the spoken form and have extravagant backdrops and flamboyant costumes that are based on a musical score. These shows can be melodramatic, humorous, or tragic.
London Opera
Melodrama
A melodrama is a play or story that often features heroic protagonists and their villainous enemies, with a lot of dramatic scenes and vastly exaggerated emotional responses.
Farce
Farces are often categorised as comedies. Ridiculous characters who face impossible situations, a madcap plot, and wacky humour—often seemingly inappropriate and exaggerated—are the most common elements of this type of drama.
Tragedy
Tragic plays frequently have sold-out performances in the London theatre drama scene. A tragedy has a heartbreaking conclusion and often a flawed protagonist, unlike other forms of drama. Dramas depicting tragedies typically feature dark and sombre themes like hardship and prejudice and the ultimate ruination or downfall of a virtuous character.
