Abstract: | The conclusion of this article is that the following criteria 1) the use of traditional elements (e.g. dances) in modern drama, 2) the choice of the language (African or European), and 3) the choice of characters and theme (traditional village or modern town), do not make a play successful. A play is a work of art and it should be judged as art. |
