Well firstly you have Aeschulus who was the first of the three. He was much more traditional in his writing. He had huge chorus speeches lasting pages and pages. He was also a lot more frivolous with his words, saying something with many words rather than few.
Sophocles was the next one who made his chorus speeches a lot shorter but they were still relatively long. He was also a bit more relaxed with his writing but had the occasional long speech with huge metaphors and most of his writing still had a poetic feel to his writing.
The last one is Euripides. He has much smaller chorus speeches lasting a page at the maximum. He is still poetic but is a lot more straight forward with his writing.
If you want a comparison of them in how the ancient viewers read a comedy called The Frogs by Aristophanes.
