Great Little Book on Playwriting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This is a great little book on playwriting by one of my favorite people and mentors, Julie Jensen. This is book one in your new career of playwriting. Also a great book for pros to remind us of the things we've forgotten. I still have my galley proof version of this book. If you want it, it's for sale for... let's see now... the economy isn't doing so well... jobs on the decline... I'm gonna need the money... mail just arrived, let's take a look... bill, bill, lawn care flyer, and another bill... let's say 10,000 dollars. Yup! I guess it stays on my bookshelf where it belongs! Jeffrey Gold, Playwright
Brief, yet deep
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Julie Jensen's treatment of the craft of playwriting is, indeed, brilliant. In the few words she uses in this short book, she is able to say more that entire collections of texts that have gathered dust for years on my office shelves. Her ability to condense this craft down to its essence is welcomed. However, the brevity of the books does not mean it has nothing to offer. I rank it as similar to Robert Edmond Jones' THE DRAMATIC IMAGINATION in that the material is simple enough to understand at first reading and deep enough to draw the serious artist back for a second dose of instruction.
