Play (theatre)

A play is a form of literature written by a playwright, usually consisting of dialogue between characters, intended for theatrical performance rather than just reading. Plays are performed at a variety of levels, from Broadway, Off-Broadway, regional theater, to Community theatre, as well as University or school productions. There are rare dramatists, notably George Bernard Shaw, who have had little preference whether their plays were performed or read. The term "play" can refer to both the written works of playwrights and to their complete theatrical performance.

Genres

Comedy

Comedies are plays which are designed to be humorous. Comedies are often filled with witty remarks, unusual characters, and strange circumstances. Certain comedies are geared toward different age groups. Comedies were one of the two original play types of Ancient Greece, along with tragedies. An example of a comedy would be William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," or for a more modern example the skits from "Saturday Night Live".

SCRIPT (AHRC Centre)

SCRIPT is a research centre located at the School of Law in the University of Edinburgh dedicated to studying intellectual property and technology law. SCRIPT used to be known as the AHRC Research Centre for Studies in Intellectual Property and Technology Law. The centre is funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council.

History and objectives

The SCRIPT Centre for Studies in Intellectual Property and Technology Law was established with private sector funding as the Shepherd and Wedderburn Centre for Research in Intellectual Property and Technologies (SCRIPT); the centre has been running with AHRC funding since 2002. While the main research areas, those of intellectual property law, information technology law, and medical law and jurisprudence have remained constant, the themes covered have responded to changes in law, policy, and society more generally. The first five years of operation have witnessed the emergence of a number of networks in different areas of specialist expertise supplementing those already in existence by staff in the centre and providing suitable platforms from which to take forward further research in key areas. Examples of such networks are contacts within the healthcare sector, human rights policymakers and competition lawyers, privacy and data protection advisors, and those involved in Creative Commons policymaking. The broad aims of the centre are to pursue ground-breaking research at the interface between law and technologies, seeking the appropriate balance to be struck between encouraging creativity and innovation while respecting the needs of the public domain.
