Overview

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 Noel 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.
