Q: The Art of the Playwright

A playwright is someone who writes plays for the stage. Sometimes they are also called dramatists because another name for a play is a drama. Surprisingly, the word “wright” does not come from the word “write.” It actually means “builder.” For example, a person who builds ships is called a shipwright.

A playwright builds plays! The first playwrights, whose plays can still be read and understood today, were the Ancient Greeks. They are important because they established the way plays are written, and this is still used today. Modern playwrights are generally not as famous as those in the past. Now that TV and movies are so popular, people don’t go to the theater as often. In the past, playwrights were as famous as movie stars are today!
