Unlike the earlier drama of Shakespeare and Sophocles, modern drama tended to focus not on kings and heroes, but instead on ordinary people dealing with everyday problems. Though these writers were very different, their work shared characteristics that were representative of a new form of drama known as modern drama. After a period of being dormant for much of the nineteenth century, the drama made a comeback in the last decades of the century and the early decades of the twentieth century, thanks to writers like Henrik Ibsen, George Bernard Shaw, and Eugene O'Neill.
However, it is a form that tends to go in and out of fashion depending on the availability of theatres and audiences.
Drama, literature that is written to be performed on the stage, is a form that goes back to the ancient Greeks and includes such writers as Shakespeare, Sophocles, and Christopher Marlowe.
