Dramatic Interpretation (often shortened to "Dramatic Interp" or just "DI") is an event in National Forensic League (and NFL-related) high school forensics compeitions.
In a typical round of DI, five to seven performers will each perform a "cutting" (excerpt) from a published play, novel, or short story. As the name suggests, the cuttings are invariably from non-comedic (e.g., dramatic) works.
