Dec 4, 2017 at 18:48 comment added Canadian Yankee Perhaps it's because I've actually known professional dramaturgs, but I'd use the word dramatic in the above sentence as meaning "good at writing good and powerful stories". Being dramaturgic is writing about stories, not writing the stories themselves. A dramatist is someone who writes plays, while a dramaturg is someone who write about plays.

I say theatrics and histrionics and its adjectives all of the time; I seldom use dramaturgy unless I happen to be writing a paper wherein I need a synonym because I've used the same word too much.
