Drama (pronounced [ˈdraːma]) is a village on the right bank of the Krka River in the Municipality of Šentjernej in southeastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Lower Carniola. It is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[2] It includes the hamlet of Dolenja Gomila (German: Untergomila),[3] formerly an independent settlement.

The local church—built north of the village in what used to be the settlement of Otok and on the edge of what was the medieval market town of Gutenwerth, which was destroyed in the late 15th century—is dedicated to Saint Nicholas and belongs to the Parish of Šentjernej. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1290, but the current building is a result of a major rebuilding in the Baroque style in the 18th century.[4]
