   from my best knowledge Elements of Drama of drama are following
   1. Character
      Most simply a character is one of the persons who appears in the play, one of the dramatis personae (literally, the persons of the play)
   
   2. Plot
      The interest generated by the plot varies for different kinds of plays.
      Open conflict plays: rely on the suspense of a struggle in which the hero, through perhaps fight against all odds, is not doomed. Dramatic thesis: foreshadowing, in the form of ominous hints or symbolic incidents, conditions the audience to expect certain logical developments. Coincidence: sudden reversal of fortune plays depict climatic ironies or misunderstandings. Dramatic irony: the fulfillment of a plan, action, or expectation in a surprising way, often opposite of what was intended
   
   3. Theme
   
   The plot has been called the body of a play and the theme has been called its soul. Most plays have a conflict of some kind between individuals, between man and society, man and some superior force or man and himself.
   
   4.Dialogue
   
   Dialogue provides the substance of a play. Each word uttered by the character furthers the business of the play, contributes to its effect as a whole
   
   5.Convention
   
   The means the playwright employs are determined at least in part by dramatic convention.
   
   6.Stagecraft
     The stage creates its effects in spite of, and in part because of, definite physical limitations. Setting and action tend to be suggestive rather than panoramic or colossal.
