Description: Analyzes scenes from Life With Father and a reading from Henry IV, Part I to demonstrate that drama consists of three interacting elements--the play itself, the actors, and the audience. Relates drama to other organized activities of men, such as sports events and ceremonies, in that all are governed by rules or conventions but that the theater uses these rules to transform the everyday events into something "approaching works of art." Discussion and interpretation by Clifton Fadiman.
