A reasonably good textbook on playwriting, but I would not use it for a textbook, because there are no writing exercises, which I consider a must for teaching a class. Still, it does have some features worth mentioning, such as the guide to marketing, which goes about half way there. It tells you what to do, and shows you how to write a good cover letter and query letter; that makes the book useful to anyone who wants to be produced. It gives some guidance on copyright, but no one is going to go on that limb too far. It's always IANAL, and that makes sense. I even hear lawyers who refuse to ring in on copyright. They did provide good resources, and advised joining the Dramatists Guild, the best advice there can be on the issue of protecting your work. Still there were some...issues. Such as the weird habit of referring to playwrights, directors, producers, etc predominantly as "she" in a politically correct form, but referencing only males when they quote or discuss anyone's work. Oh, yes, they did mention Marsha Norman once, and Eve Ensler once or twice, mostly in passing, but it is jarring to see so many "she" references coupled with nothing but male sources. And one idea they develop for how to make a character interesting is classically sexist. Those things, plus some jarring typos, lost the book a star. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
""Naked Playwriting" is a complete, comprehensive playwriting course-from developing a theme through plotting and structuring a play, developing characters, creating dialog, formatting a script, and plying methods that aid the actual writing and rewriting processes. It also offers guidance on marketing and submitting play scripts for both contests and production, getting an agent, protecting one's copyright, and working with directors, actors, and theater companies. This new edition, in addition to fully updating the material in the popular first edition, adds detailed information on such recent develops as "Zoom plays" and "devised theater"; writing non-formulaic plays that create their own structures; a new emphasis on writing 10-minute and one-act plays; completely revised play submission guidelines that reflect a process that has wholly changed since the first edition was published; an section on the now-popular trend of moving from playwriting to TV scripting; material on the growing trend toward playwrights directing their own plays; and much more. Well-written and filled with illustrative examples, it provides both innovative and tried-and-true writing techniques, sage advice from veteran writers, a short study of the major schools of dramatic thought, and pertinent writing anecdotes. This one-of-a-kind playwriting book will help both novices and working writers discover and improve their playwriting skills and get their plays produced"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
