Good drama must be drastic.

Summary

This quote suggests that to be considered effective and engaging, a drama must contain significant and intense events or situations. It implies that a compelling drama requires a certain level of intensity or extent of conflict, either internally or externally, to captivate audiences. Without drastic elements, a drama might be perceived as lacking in excitement, depth, or emotional impact. Therefore, the quote emphasizes the importance of creating high stakes, intense moments, and emotionally charged experiences in order to deliver a memorable and impactful dramatic narrative.
