Play-Making - A Manual of Craftsmanship is a guidebook which
answers the essential question: ""How do I write theatrical
drama?"" This book is a valuable resource for aspiring playwrights
who wish to learn essential techniques of authoring a quality stage
play. William Archer, an educator in English literature, presents
the traditional theory of play composition in a manner both
straightforward and engaging in a manner useful, practical and
highly accessible. The text begins by examining the choice of
theme, the casting of characters, and what constitutes dramatic and
undramatic elements of a play. A sequential look at each portion of
the typical play begins; the first act establishes the place and
characters, and must set up what is to follow with tension and
curiosity. Drawing on unrivaled masters of the craft such as
William Shakespeare and Henrik Ibsen, this book offers an informed
and authoritative commentary on composing plays useful for both
students and teachers of English literature or drama.
