Likewise in the drama script Harut and Marut by Ali Ahmad Bakatsir, in it there are many types of speech found, especially the types of speech that are included in directive speech acts. The only way to find out the types and functions of the utterances in the dialogue between the characters is to use speech act theory in pragmatic studies. So this study aims to describe the types and functions of directive speech acts in Harut and Marut drama scripts. In this study, the data collection method used was the note-taking method. The data obtained were then analyzed using a qualitative descriptive method. The speech act theory used by the researcher in this research is the theory proposed by Muhammad Sharraf.
