Drawing upon the innovative work of the Language Playwrights (including Len Jenkin, Mac Wellman, and Eric Overmyer) and the theories of Mikhail Bakhtin, Paul Castagno questions many assumptions and "givens" about playwriting and offers provocative and rewarding new models for narrative, dialogue, and character. His techniques and exercises give playwrights the license to experiment with language and to find imaginative solutions to complex dramatic problems outside realist conventions. This volume is sure to become an essential text for the modern student of playwriting. |
