Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The new 2023 Second Edition of the Handbook revised and updated is now published.Playwriting Seminars is called a treasuretrove of information and inspiration by Theatre Journal, an "absolutely essential guide to all aspects of playwriting and a valuable whitewater raft trip down the rapids of Hollywood screenwriting by Magellan, and it was a recommended resource at New Dramatists (NYC). It was originally developed for playwrights and screenwriters, but has since been used by authors of novels and nonfiction books. It covers all aspects of writing fulllength plays with diagrams of key elements of dramatic structure, and a section on adjustments for screenwriting. Playwriting techniques are explained with many examples from classic and contemporary plays performed today by America's regional theatres as well as on Broadway and OffBroadway.The Handbook explains the interconnections between characters and plot and the importance of subtext to character development in the contemporary theatre (what characters dont tell us matters as much as what they say in dialogue). Key exercises are included for developing voice as a writer and for creating the essential dual plot structure that supports intriguing characters in todays theatre. Many theatre professionals in theatre are quoted on key parts of the art and craft of playwriting to help explain effective techniques. Special sections of the Handbook focus on getting inspiration and avoiding writers block; editing first drafts and professional script formats for theatre and film (including software); how to launch new scripts, putting together submission packages for theatres and competitions; how to write an effective script synopsis and writers bio; approaches for working with directors, actors and agents; how to survive audience talkbacks following readings and workshop productions; and options for making a living at the craft of dramatic writing.
