N2  - "Writing for the theatre and about theatre requires a diverse set of skills, but whether you're studying theatre or developing your creative craft, this book covers everything you need to know. Providing a practical introduction supplemented with exercises and the testimonies of a host of theatre professionals, it will help you to practise and master the many types of writing encountered in the theatre, including: how to analyze and break down a script; how to write various types of plays, from short plays, plays for one person, to one act and full length dramas; how to critique a play and a theatre production; how to construct and craft essays, cover letters, theatrical resumes, applications, and; how to avoid common grammar and punctuation errors. Filled with practical advice from an award-winning playwright, director, author and college professor, and featuring a range of resources to guide you in the craft and business of theatre writing, The Art of Writing for the Theatre provides everything you need to know to write like a seasoned, theatre professional. Accompanying online resources include playwriting and script analysis worksheets and exercises, an example of a playwriting resume and critical points to consider on playwriting, design, acting, directing and choreography."--
