Im a bit unclear as to what you want by 'drama', as the entire play is filled with drama- and is often called a drama itself hence the term 'drama script'.

However you could take a different approach by talking of how Shakespeares use of the prologue creates hightened drama throughout the play, here are a few ideas you could touch on;

Romeo and Juliet opens with a prologue announcing the story's star-crossed young lovers will die and their deaths reconcile their warring clans. Shakespeare opens his story by boldly announcing the climax of its plot. How can he get away with this? Because the better the storyteller, the stronger their understanding that a story is a journey. That a well-told story makes every step of that journey engaging and *dramatic*, more than the sum of its parts. Shakespeare can do what most inexperienced writers would be loathed to do -- give away his ending -- because what makes his story satisfying is a separate issue from the mechanical working out of its plot.

Further, by telling the audience the story's outcome, Shakespeare gives the story a poignancy it would lack otherwise. Knowing the lovers will die makes their every step toward that fate more deeply felt. This shows that*drama* is not only the anticipation of action, but the feelings and thoughts that anticipation arouses.

Hope this is vaguely what you were after. (=
