In the examples I converted from Jon Bosak, I used:
    <preface remap="PERSONAE">
        <title remap="TITLE">Dramatis Personae</title>

        <para>
            <personname remap="PERSONA">LEAR, king of Britain </personname>
        </para>

For stage direction, we used:
<para remap="STAGEDIR">Sennet. Enter KING LEAR, CORNWALL, ALBANY, GONERIL, REGAN,
                CORDELIA, and Attendants</para>

I'd prefer to limit the number of tags we add, unless there is a specific semantic need to do so. I could see the addition of drama, as a higher-level wrapper though...

personae (sp?) is a needed wrapper?

Nothing at http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/PublishersMinimalElements  that
strikes me as clear for
<cast>
<role>
<name>Othello</
<para> A right tart</
</
</

It is a bit 'peculiar' to a play Scott?

We added <direction> as a block level element and <inlinedirection> as
an inline element. We felt that these had enough additional semantic
value that it was worth adding. We definitely thought that they were
drama specific - they would work for screenplays as well as stage
plays I think.

What of the persona Nic? (Only goes back to 1958 as 'personas')

How did you mark up the cast of characters?
