Cutting Plays for Performance offers a practical guide for cutting
a wide variety of classical and modern plays. This essential text
offers insight into the various reasons for cutting, methods to
serve different purposes (time, audience, story), and suggests ways
of communicating cuts to a production team. Dealing with every
aspect of the editing process, it covers structural issues, such as
plot beats, rhetorical concepts, and legal considerations, why and
when to cut, how to cut with a particular goal in mind such as time
constraints, audience and storytelling, and ways of communicating
cuts to a production team. A set of practical worksheets to assist
with the planning and execution of cuts, as well as step-by-step
examples of the process from beginning to end in particular plays
help to round out the full range of skills and techniques that are
required when approaching this key theatre-making task. This is the
first systematic guide for those who need to cut play texts.
Directors, dramaturgs, and teachers at every level from students to
seasoned professionals will find this an indispensable tool
throughout their careers.
