Recorded use
Wiktionary exampleThese source excerpts show how comédie dramatique appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Les jeux des acteurs ont évolué en fonction des époques, des genres aussi : on ne joue pas le drame romantique comme la tragédie racinienne ou la comédie dramatique de Corneille même si le souci principal de l’acteur reste la vérité du personnage, la restitution « naturelle » d’une réalité recomposée et transposée.
