Script Analysis for Actors, Directors, and Designers

It is long winded because it is comprehensive and will be a great deal of help once I am done. But it will take time. It is confusing because I am a little confused at one part "The seed". The author did not specify if the seed of a play is always about the point of view of idealism. But I have an inkling that is not because all plays are different and I suppose they have different main points. This book clears up the definitions in drama (which are all too often confusing) It also cover fallacies that readers of plays often make, thereby impeding correct understanding of a play. The rest of the chapters cover theme, super-objective, formalist analysis and etc. It will be invaluable to those who are poor in script analysis and probably unseen prose. (I really hope so because my school is so inept) This book is not for the simple-minded. My brain was numb after the four hours I sat reading and taking down notes. I am going to continue because my stupid literature and drama teachers in my school is doing squat! By: A secondary 2 student, age 14

This book is very informative, insightful & wise. Just what I needed to further my knowledge and skill!
