Opis

Writing Your First Play provides the beginning playwright with the tools and motivation to tell a story through dramatic form. Based on a series of exercises which gradually grow more complex, the book helps the reader to understand the basic elements of drama, conflict and action. The exercises help the reader to become increasingly sophisticated in the use of dramatic formats, turning simple ideas into a viable play.

Recenzje

Review of First Edition:
"Simplifies playwriting by breaking the process into its components. The result is both clear and helpful"
Dramatics, 1992

Review of the Second Edition:
'Writing Your First Play is the second edition of Roger A. Hall's excellent survey of the creative process. He presents a structure that should give new playwrights confidence in the process, and help them to develop their own voice and point of view.' - Stage Directions
