Plural of dramatist; multiple people who write and create plays or dramatic works.
From dramatist plus -s (standard English plural marker).
The greatest dramatists often worked in clusters—the Golden Age of Spanish drama, Elizabethan England, and modern American theater all featured multiple genius-level writers creating simultaneously!
Plural form inherits the masculine-default history of 'dramatist.' Canon-building traditionally centred male writers; female and non-binary dramatists under-represented in literary histories.
Use 'dramatists' universally. When citing historical work, specify gender of overlooked contributors: 'Black dramatists,' 'women dramatists of the 1960s–70s.'

Lorraine Hansberry, María Irene Fornés, and Suzan-Lori Parks revolutionised dramatic form; inclusive framing restores their centrality.
