What is a dramatisation?
A dramatisation is either a radio play or a reworking of the original story so that it becomes like a radio play. The dialogue in the book is retained, and additional dialogue or a narrator to link the dialogue may be added to include some of the writer’s original descriptive passages. Dramatised versions have each character played by a separate actor/actress. Because the original story is reworked and almost certainly shortened, dramatisations are also abridged versions of the book, except in a very few instances.
