Dramedy Play Scripts

Dramedy is a term for a play that mixes comedy with drama. Often used in relation to TV shows, it has also been used to describe plays that are not all light-hearted comedies, but have elements of drama and introduce some serious issues and conflict. Ideally, a drama should include some comedy moments or scenes and comedies often feature conflict that is resolved in a humorous way. SO dramedy is a way of describing a play that has a more even balance of comedy and drama than a comedy script or drama script alone.

  • These 16 fictional monologues by Gillette Elvgren are based on women in the Bible. They range from the profound and moving to the comic and even sassy. Find the biblical characters you would expect: Mary, Mother of Jesus; Mary Magdalene; and Martha. Add to that the Witch of Endor and Claudia, the wife of Pilate and you have a vibrant mix of voices, both serious and comic. This collection of monologues can be performed as an evening or individually as a portion of a church or school event.
