So You Want To Be A Playwright?
by Tim Fountain
How to write a play and get it produced
– a manual for playwrights.
Playwright and former literary manager
Tim Fountain guides the budding playwright over the many hurdles involved
in getting a play on – from finding a story that only you know, through
the detailed construction of the play, and on to the strategies you
can use to get it on stage.
• What kind of play do you want to
write??
• Where do you get your ideas from??
• How much exposition do you need??
• Where do you find your characters’
voices??
• What should you do when you get
stuck??
• Where should you send your play?
The book also deals with the actual
production: choosing directors, designers and actors, and coping with
rehearsals, previews and press nights.
Includes appendixes of vital websites,
and contact details for new-writing theatres, agents and publishers.
