Description
Play Directing: The Basics provides a comprehensive guide for theatre students and aspiring directors. This step-by-step process covers every aspect of directing, from historical context to opening night, offering practical advice and insights from working professionals and academic directors. The book begins with an overview of the director's role, then delves into finding plays to produce, analysing scripts, collaborating with designers, rehearsing with actors, devising company creations, and more. A range of resources is included, such as a workbook, short exercises, helpful websites, and suggested reading, to support further study. Suitable for high school and early college students interested in theatre and directing, this book empowers readers to find their own voice, develop a practice, and refine their process.
