Practical Play Writing And The Cost Of Production Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Art of Playwriting: Being a Practical Treatise on the Elements of Dramatic Construction There are two classes of readers for whose needs a book of this sort should aim to pro vide: (1) those who know much about the practical workings of the theatre, but have little constructive knowledge; and (2) those whose instinct for dramatic construction is, strong, but who, through lack of Opportunity, have acquired little insight into the practical details of stage representation. With this end in view, the work has been arranged in two principal divisions, the first dealing with the minutiae of the theatre, the second with the principles of dramatic construction.
