The phrase in context typically refers to the impact or power of dramatic elements to engage, captivate, and evoke emotions in the audience.

It can range from moments of tension and suspense to cathartic release, depending on the nature of the production and the intentions of the playwright, director, and performers. Overall, "The Drama Effect" in theatre is about the ability of theatrical performances to provoke thought, evoke empathy, and leave a lasting impression on those who experience it.
