A Practical Guide to Becoming a Playwright: Real World

A Practical Guide to Becoming a Playwright: Real World Knowledge, Experience and Insight

You wonâ€™t find a lot of pontificating over Aristotelian theory in this book. What you will find is straightforward, practical guidance to help aspiring and early-career playwrights hone their craft and steer their plays toward successful productions. While many playwriting books focus solely on stagecraft, this one also examines the nuts and bolts of getting your plays produced. After all, writing a play is one thing, but it wonâ€™t have fulfilled its purpose until itâ€™s been brought to life on a stage. Examining everything from structure, dialogue, and creating well-rounded characters to formatting, writing synopses and preparing your plays for submission, A Practical Guide to Becoming a Playwright offers a comprehensive explanation of the often challenging process of writing plays and getting them into the hands of producers. Using knowledge and insight gained from more than two decades of writing for the stage and garnering successful productions, award-winning playwright Andrew Biss shares with you everything that heâ€™s learned â€“ not from teaching or hypothesizing, but from actually doing. A Practical Guide to Becoming a Playwright is your go-to guide for navigating the frequently nebulous world of playwriting and production.
