III. 选词填空: dancing written lost responsibility musical deals struggled thoughts history watch direction guide sum suffer stage The Beginning of Drama Drama as we know it began in ancient Greece. The first plays were religious affairs, with and music. Then came a chorus, which eventually had a Leader, who was the first actor in the of drama.
