The Blunt Playwright won't tell you everything there is to know about playwriting. It won't even try. What it will do is examine process, structure, dialogue, and character; provide classic and contemporary scenes for you to study; outline clever exercises to strengthen your writing skills; and so much more. Highly regarded and widely used in colleges and universities across North America, this updated edition of The Blunt Playwright, by award-winning Canadian playwright, novelist and screenwriter Clem Martini, cements its place as one of the best resources for playwrights. From organising the structure of a script, to developing characters' voices; from employing visual effects on stage, to writing comedy; or from self-promotion, to getting produced and published... this guide has something for everyone, at any stage of their career.
