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
