Description
Fifty Playwrights on Their Craft offers an in-depth exploration of the craft and creative processes of today's most influential playwrights. Through probing interviews with fifty dramatists from the US and UK, this collection sheds light on the ideas, inspirations, and motivations that drive their work. The book delves into key questions about playwriting, including how it contributes to global dialogue, where ideas for plays originate, and how the stage informs the writing process. The interviews provide a unique insight into the perspectives and approaches of playwrights whose work spans over six decades, offering an inter-generational dialogue between dramatists from both sides of the Atlantic. Featuring contributions from notable playwrights such as Edward Bond, Katori Hall, Chris Goode, David Greig, Willy Russell, David Henry Hwang, Alecky Blythe, Anne Washburn and Simon Stephens, this book provides an unprecedented view into the multiple perspectives and approaches of key playwrights.
