Description

Simon Stephens: A Working Diary offers an unprecedented glimpse into the mind of one of the most important playwrights of the twenty-first century. Through daily diary entries, this book provides access to Stephens' working practices, inner-most thoughts, philosophy on theatre and politics, and reactions to specific projects. Stephens shares his experiences from a year marked by numerous world premiere plays, including works at London's Royal Court and Young Vic, as well as a transfer of his hit play to Broadway. This exceptional honesty also reveals his role as a mentor to young writers, actors, and directors, and his thoughts on the arts and politics. This book is an insightful look into the creative process of a leading playwright, offering a unique perspective on the world of theatre and beyond.
