Abstract

This study sought to detect the relationship between the elements of dramatic treatment (i.e. characters, information accuracy, content, location and dramatic structure) and the effectiveness of historical drama in order to learn how dramatic treatment actualizes attraction, understanding and interaction. This study used a quantitative method by collecting quantifiable data, and also used the questionnaire as a data collection tool. The population sampled consisted of West Bank Palestinians, who watched one of the most successful historical TV drama series which was entitled . Subsequently, data were subjected to statistical analysis by SPSS. The researcher used correlation coefficient analysis that examines the relationships between variables in terms of strength and direction. The study found that there were statistically significant positive correlations between dramatic treatment elements and historical drama effectiveness factors, which ranged from medium to strong. There was a strong positive correlation between understanding drama and drama content. There was also a strong positive relationship between attraction and dramatic structure, accuracy and content. Additionally, there was a strong positive correlation between interacting with characters, informational accuracy and content. This study contributes to helping individuals in the field of drama production understand the effective elements of drama. This means that if the producer of historical drama wants to achieve an understanding of the subject, they should have an interest in the content. Furthermore, if they want to attract an audience to the drama, they should ensure interest in the dramatic structure, informational accuracy and the contents. Finally, if they want to achieve audience interaction, they should ensure interest in the characters, informational accuracy and content.
