Playwriting is a type of writing that is written for the purpose of theater and stage production. Play writing consists of acts, scenes, and stage direction that set the tone and settings for characters in a play.
Plays are a form of art that has been around for centuries. The Greeks considered plays to be either tragedies or comedies---polar opposite emotions generally achieved in writing. Plays were basically written works put onto the stage where the audience already knew the plot and outline of the play, but wanted to see how different interpretations of a story would be.
