drama has 3 distinct synonyms spread across 2 of its 4 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
a dramatic work intended for performance by actors on a stage
“he wrote several plays but only one was produced on Broadway”
an episode that is turbulent or highly emotional
the literary genre of works intended for the theater
the quality of being arresting or highly emotional
Synonyms, antonyms and the broader and narrower relations for drama come from Princeton University’s WordNet. Full sources and licences.
