Learn the essential techniques every successful playwright knows Among the many "how-to" playwriting books that have made an appearance over time, there were few that attempt to assess the mysteries of play building. Lajos Egri's common, The Skill of Dramatic Writing, does indeed that, with instruction that can be applied equally well to a brief story, novel, or screenplay. Evaluating a play from the within out, Egri begins with the heart of any theatre: its characters. All good remarkable writing hinges on people and their relationships, which serve to move the story onward and give it life, as well as an understanding of individuals motives - why people action the way that they actually. Using cases from everything from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, Egri shows how it is essential for the writer to truly have a basic idea - a thesis, exhibited in conditions of human behavior - and develop the remarkable conflict based on that behavior. Using Egri's ABCs of idea, character, and discord, The Skill of Dramatic Writing is a direct, jargon-free approach to the problem of achieving truth in writing.
