karya drama


Explanation:
sofie,

- 'play' (drama) in this case already means work written to be performed on stage [or the performance itself], so the word 'work' seems rather unnecessary.

- however, i'm assuming that it's just another way of saying drama work, with 'work' here meaning a product of the intellect or the imagination, i.e. 'karya'.
