Many ancient poems follow strict rules in form. A play is a form of literature written by a playwright. It consists of dialogue between characters and is intended for theatrical performance on stage.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer, The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them. To be, or not to be: that is the question.
