Firstly, I am sorry to say that I don't really remember the date. Pity me. But I do remember several things. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Malachi Edwin Vethamani is the lecturer for 'Teaching The Language of Drama'.
At first, I thought that drama is something that I am familiar with, for example the drama on television as I watch it daily. When Dr. Edwin started to talk about it, the history, venue, the audience and more, it was totally out of my perception.
The drama that I am studying now is something different.It is more like theatre or play. During the ancient time, drama and theatre was one of the popular entertainment. Theatre in Greek is one of the famous theatre. One of the play I have read and learned about is Oedipus Rex by Sophocles. Guess what, the Oedipus complex which is a psychological illness, the name is taken from the character in this play. Oedipus, the king who married his own mother and the mental illness Oedipus complex refers to a person, male who attracted to his own mother. Nothing to do with the play, but the fact really attract my attention. So, drama, theatre or play is interesting and enjoyable.
