| Summary: | This book is the most detailed analysis of contemporary playwriting techniques ever published. A decade in the making, 21st Century Playwriting examines the contemporary theater scene and the skills and writing techniques needed to succeed as a modern playwright. Written by a multi-award winning playwright with many national and international production credits, the book offers many useful writing tips, as well as an understanding of how radically theater has changed in the 21st century. No other book goes into such depth and detail on areas like dramatic structure, story-shaping, characterization and the contemporary language techniques used in modern playwriting. Blending theater tradition and radical aesthetics, 21st Century Playwriting is perfect for both new playwrights and more experienced writers wishing to refresh and modernize their writing, as well as anyone interested in the rarely-discussed techniques that go into the making of contemporary theater and its scripts. |
