More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Playwriting offers a practical guide to the creation of text for live performance. It contains a wealth of exercises for amateur and professional playwrights.
Usable in a range of contexts, the book works as:
* a step-by-step guide to the creation of an individual play
* a handy resource for a teacher or workshop leader
* a stimulus for the group-devised play.
The result of Noël Greig's thirty years' experience as a playwright, actor, director and teacher, Playwriting is the ideal handbook for anyone who engages with playwriting and is ultimately concerned with creating a story and bringing it to life on the stage.

Format:Paperback
A clearly written, informative, entertaining and incredibly useful book - and not just for playwriting. I am a short story writer and I found the exercises invaluable for discovering and developing ideas. If you teach writing you may find it useful to know the book includes exercises for groups as well as individuals with an estimate of the time each exercise will take.This is a book for anyone interested in writing of any kind - I can't praise it enough.

This book is great. It covers practical exercises so you can develop your work and find your own voice. It has flexible exercises you can use as a teacher or as a writer and throughout emphasises imaginative use of language and gaining confidence in your own work. I use it to develop my own writing as well as in classes. Can't recommend it enough.
