Review
Should prove invaluable to those wishing to take early steps on the dramatic writing ladder... his wealth of experience will prove of great value even to those who do not agree with everything that he writes.... will prove worthwhile reminders of the work of Arnold Wesker and, it is to be hoped, herald his return to centrestage. --British Theatre Guide
Product Description
Wesker On Theatre is a selection of essays, lectures and journalism by Sir Arnold Wesker, one of our most prolific and well-known writers, drawing together his thoughts on drama and the theatre. Brought together for the first time, these essays explore such subjects as The DNA of a Play; Interpretation to explain or impose; The Nature of Theatre Dialogue; Can playwrights be taught to write plays? Also included are several other pieces which attempt to explain what this cornerstone of British drama has been doing during fifty years of a theatre writing career. Many may find his observations controversial. All are thought provoking. Part of the beautiful Oberon Masters series, this will be a stimulating read for all students, academics, practitioners, theatre buffs and fans of British theatre.
