Well, for starters, it requires a personal respsonse because it is asking for your opinion and perspective.
'Strengths' refers to the distinctive qualities of the text (i.e. aspects which make this text unique to other texts) which you are required to explain from your personal readings (and is the whole point of the module).
'As a drama' means you have to relate the effectiveness of dramatic devices (particularly those visible on a stage) to the overall drama genre (i.e. relate the devices to how they best represent a message in drama rather than some other text type), with particular reference to the central message of the text.
