Ado About Nothing have in common with When Harry Met Sally? Seneca

questions and more. Investigating how the relationship between form
and content brings endless discoveries and illuminations about how
narrative works, this entertaining and accessible book looks at how

appreciation of form can bring the writer, director or actor a
solid foundation and a sense of security, which ultimately assists

Writing for Stage and Screen is for all those with an interest in
story and can be used by writers, actors and directors alike -
whether students or experienced professionals - to make the blank
page appear less terrifying.
