Book Synopsis
The art and craft of playwriting as explored in candid conversations with some of the most important contemporary dramatists

Trade Review
“Sweet’s collection of interviews is itself rather like a good play. For a start, it is not remotely boring or abstract and, significantly, the voices of the ‘characters’ come to life vividly on the page… A vocal celebration of the solitary writer in the most collaborative of industries.”—Laura Baggaley, TLS -- Laura Baggaley * TLS *
“Sweet has assembled a group of successful contemporary playwrights and gotten them to open up about what they do and how they do it. . . . There’s a lot of professional insight in this collection of interviews, a lot of good advice, and the invaluable perspective of a glimpse into how these writers think.”—Jonathan Richards, Santa Fe New Mexican -- Jonathan Richards * Santa Fe New Mexican *
