dramatisers

Those creating plays

Dramatisers is the British spelling of dramatizers—people who dramatize, whether by adapting stories for stage or screen, or by exaggerating events for effect: The dramatisers turned the novel into a three-part miniseries.

Someone who makes mountains out of molehills is a dramatiser in the figurative sense.
