The word “plot” describes the main idea or theme of a story or book. The phrase ‘play of the story’ does not exist. Let me know if this helps.

Hello Maxmax.
The correct term here is ‘plot’. This is the actual ‘storyline’ and although is a part of the author’s planning, we do not refer to it in that way.
When authors plan a story they consider things such as the characters, setting and period of their story, as well as the plot - the way their story will run from the introduction through to the climax and on to a resolution.
