Writing Your First Play provides the beginning playwright with the
tools and motivation to tell a story through dramatic form. Based
in a series of exercises which gradually grow more complex, the
books helps the reader to understand the basic elements of drama,
conflict, and action. The exercises help the reader to become
increasingly sophisticated in the use of dramatic formats, turning
simple ideas into a viable play. Topics include: the role of action
in drama; developing action and conflict to reveal character;
writing powerful and persuasive dialog; writing from personal
experience:pros and cons; how to begin the story and develop the
storyline. This new edition is thoroughly updated and contains new
examples based on contemporary plays. The author has added
additional writing exercises and a new student-written one act
play. It also contains a new chapter on how to sell your play once
it is written. With examples based on student work, this text both
inspires and educates the student and fledgling playwright,
providing solid tools and techniques for the craft of writing a
drama. Roger A. Hall, a professor of theatre at James Madison
University, had taught playwriting for nearly 20 years. Many of his
students have gone on to write for theatre, television, and the
screen. He has written numerous plays and articles and has acted
and directed extensively in the theatre.
