Summary:"This book offers a practical guide for all those who are involved in the creation of text for live performance. These practical exercises can be used in a wide range of contexts: as a step-by-step guide for the individual playwright, as a handy resource for a teacher or workshop leader, or as a stimulus for a group-devised play. All the exercises can be adapted for the specific context. This is the ideal handbook for anyone who engages with playwriting and who is concerned with bringing a story to life on the stage."--Jacket.
