Script Analysis for Actors, Directors, and Designers

About this book

Script Analysis for Actors, Directors, and Designers, Seventh Edition, teaches the skills of script analysis using a formalist approach that examines the written part of a play to evaluate its potentials for performance and production.

This new edition features new and revised content, including an analysis of two new plays, Kalidasa's Shakuntala and Federico Garcia Lorca's The House of Bernarda Alba; information for the theatre designer integrated in chapters throughout the book; and an expanded appendix on critical approaches to script analysis. Explorations of both classic and unconventional plays are combined with clear examples, end-of-chapter summaries, and stimulating questions that will allow actors, directors, and designers to immediately incorporate the concepts and processes into their theatre production work.

An excellent resource for students of acting, script analysis, directing, playwriting, and stage design courses, this book provides the tools to effectively bring a script to life on stage.
