This not the case in dramatic art. Theatre is an interpretive art. Conductors, musicians, choreographers, and dancers are interpreters in their respective arts as well, but interpreters of theatre have much greater latitude for personal expression. This is true because the language of drama is much less exact than that of music or dance. Human life is much too complex for any system of notation to describe it completely.
Playwrights have only the speech of their characters to carry all the information of a life lived.
The interpreters are expected to fill in the blanks. Finally, dramatic art is collaborative . As indicated above, dramatic art requires the services of many specialists to bring it to completion in performance. It is like a team sport in which each member has a specialty, but must work harmoniously with the others in order to win. To a much greater degree than any other of the performing arts, theatre is not pure.
