Abstract

‘Bordering on Chaos’ is a two-act stage play that looks into the small lives of ordinary people. The challenge was to elevate these small lives and instil in them the dramatic action needed to hold the attention of an audience. Each character has a story to tell.

This critical analysis considers the importance of dramatic action in the writing process and looks at ways in which established playwrights have used this in their own work.

Dramatic action is essential for the structural development and character progression within a play and the analysis shows this to be the case.
