Book Synopsis

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.
