A Playwright is also known as a dramatist, is a person who writes dramatic literature or drama.
 
A play is a form of literature usually consisting of dialogue between characters, intended for  theatrical performance rather than just reading. Plays are performed at a variety of levels namely; main-stream to Community theatre, as well as University or school productions. The term "play" can refer to both the written works of playwrights and to their complete theatrical performance. Plays can be categorised according to a variety of genres eg. Tragedy, Comedy - including Farce and Sarire - Historical, Theatre of Cruelty, Theatre of the Absurd etc.
 
A composer (Latin com+ponere, literally "one who puts together") is a person who creates music. The core meaning of the term refers to individuals who have contributed to the tradition of classical music through creation of works expressed in written musical notation. In broader usage, "composer" can designate people who participate in other musical traditions, as well as those who create music by means other than written notation; for example, through improvisation, recording, and arrangement.
