Script Analysis for Actors, Directors, and Designers
This book applies directly to the experience of theatrical production; students will
immediately be able to relate the concepts and procedures they learn to their artistic
work. The author's procedural method is detailed and precise. The parts of a play are
learned progressively, which fosters an understanding of the concept of artistic unity.
Examples are clear and comprehensive. Actors, directors, and designers will benefit from
end-of-chapter questions and summaries meant to stimulate their creative process as they
engage in production work.
