In psychodrama you take a life situation which is loaded with feeling for you - a row with the boss, being ill-treated as a child, a problem with a partyner, anything at all - and act it out, using people from the group as characters in your play.
The director will set up the scene in a concrete way ("so the door is over here, the window is here, and there is a table in the middle...") to make the scene as evocative as possible.
