Dramas
Drama scripts are a great way to illustrate a situation and explore complexities and emotions surrounding the issue. Our drama scripts generally feature just a few characters, and may be aired during one or several episodes.
Drama scripts can be read by local actors, or (for very short and simple dramas) by broadcasters themselves.
