A playwright or dramatist is a person who writes plays, which are a form of drama that primarily consists of dialogue between characters and is intended for theatrical performance rather than just reading. Ben Jonson coined the term "playwright" and is the first person in English literature to refer to playwrights as separate from poets.
Depending on culture, the differences between the meaning of "Dramatist" and the meaning of "Playwright" are perceived otherwise. In light of this, please do not use the "Playwrights" and "Dramatists" subcategories of this category anymore, but move articles from either "Dramatists" or "Playwrights" to this category instead.
