In this edition of his classic critique of drama education in schools, David Hornbrook brings the argument up-to-date and locates his proposals for a curriculum based on the making, performing and appraisal of dramas securely in the evolving culture of schools. Education and Dramatic Art critiques the often-muddy idealism that pervades drama productions in schools and the teaching of dramatic texts.
The Dramatic Writers Companion: Tools to Develop Characters, Cause Scenes, and Build Stories
Moss Hart once said that you never really learn how to write a play; you only learn how to write this play. Crafted with that adage in mind, The Dramatic Writer’s Companion is designed to help writers explore their own ideas in order to develop the script in front of them. No ordinary guide to plotting, this handbook starts with the principle that character is key. “The character is not something added to the scene or to the story,” writes author Will Dunne. “Rather, the character is the scene. The character is the story.”

Frey urges writers to aim high-not to try to write a good-enough-to-get-published mystery, but a damn good mystery. A damn good mystery is first a dramatic novel, Frey insists-a dramatic novel with living, breathing characters-and he shows his readers how to create a living, breathing, believable character who will be clever and resourceful, willful and resolute, and will be what Frey calls "the author of the plot behind the plot."

Explanatory footnotes. 64pp. Considered by many the greatest of the classic Greek tragedies, Oedipus Rex is Sophocles' finest play and a work of extraordinary power and resonance. Aristotle considered it a masterpiece of dramatic construction and refers to it frequently in the Poetics.
