Genre of Drama: Tragedy - Tragedy is a genre of story in which a hero is brought down by his / her own flaws, usually by ordinary human flaws such as over ambition greed or an excess of love, loyalty or honor. It is based on human suffering and mainly the terrible or sorrowful events that befall a main character. Comedy - Comedies are amusing and entertaining works of writing that are written for the purpose of evoking positive reactions from the audience. Tragicomedy - It is a literary genre that blends aspects of both tragic and comic forms. It is incorporated with jokes throughout the story just to lighten the tone.

Pantomime - A dramatic representation in which the performers express themselves mutely by gestures, often to the accompaniment of music. Epic Theatre - It is a form of didactic drama presenting a series of loosely connected scenes that avoid illusion and often interrupt the story line to address the audience directly with analysis, arguments or documentation. Theatre of The Absurd - It is a post world war II designation for particular plays of absurdist fiction written by a number of primarily European play wrights in the late 1950's. The Plays focus largely on ideas of existentialism and express what happens when human existence lacks meaning or purpose and communication breaks down.
