Produktbeskrivning
Playwriting reveals the various invisible frameworks and mechanisms that are at the heart of each and every successful play. Drawing on a huge range of sources, it deconstructs playwriting into its constituent parts, and offers illuminating insights into:Structure – an in-depth exploration of the fundamental elements of drama, enabling you to choose instinctively the most effective structure for your playCharacter – advice on how to generate and write credible characters by exploring their three essential dimensions: story, breadth and depthHow to Write – techniques for writing great dialogue, dynamic scenes and compelling subtext, including how to improve your writing by approaching it from unfamiliar directionsWhat to Write – how to adopt different approaches to finding your material, how to explore the fundamental 'Nine Stories', and how to evaluate the potential of your ideasWritten by a true master of the craft, this authoritative guide will provide playwrights at every level of experience with a rich array of tools to apply to their own work.
This edition, edited by Maeve McKeown, includes a Foreword by April De Angelis. 'What Stephen Jeffreys doesn't know about playwriting isn't worth knowing'Stephen Daldry'Stephen Jeffreys is as important a teacher as he is brilliant a writer… Without him, I wouldn't have been able to write the plays that I have written'Simon Stephens'An incredibly useful writing helpmeet.
As witty and humane as its author'Emma Thompson'What Stephen taught me has shaped my mind and I have shared this with countless writers'Kwame Kwei-Armah'Stephen was a true mentor… I still draw upon much of what he taught me today'Abi Morgan'Like a bird in the air, Stephen was utterly in his element as a teacher.
We sat spellbound'Phyllida Lloyd'I had the great pleasure of working with Stephen on his play The Libertine. Would that all playwrights had his openness, his talent, his hard-headedness, his experience, his enthusiasm, his audacity, his complexity, and perhaps best of all his talent and interest in eliciting the best in others'John Malkovich'Stephen's wit was legendary.
"Wit": from the proto-Indo-European word "weid" meaning "to see"/"to know". Stephen "saw" clearly and "knew" profoundly; which is why we sought out the clarity of his words and learned deeply from his laughter'Simon McBurney'Stephen was more than just a great bloke whose easy laugh set a room alight; he was a genuine geek, an obsessive about the craft of writing… As I read, I was reminded again of his deep connection to plays and how they work There are gems in here, there is guidance, there is the spirit of Stephen Jeffreys'April De Angelis
