Product Description

Product Description
Containing a wealth of exercises for individuals and groups involved in making theatre, this text offers a practical guide to the creation of text for live performance.

From the Back Cover
What makes a story work? Playwriting offers a practical guide to the creation of text for live performance, and contains a wealth of exercises for all individuals and groups involved in making theatre. It can be used in a range of contexts: either as a step-by-step guide to the creation of an individual play, as a handy resource for a teacher or workshop leader, or as 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading, 24 Jan 2006
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressed, 17 Jan 2008
By Tartan girl (Perth, Scotland) - See all my reviews
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.
