Description
A practical investigation into story-theatre and the art of telling stories through theatre, by renowned director Mike Alfreds. In "Then What Happens?", Alfreds makes the case for putting story and storytelling back at the heart of theatre. The book explores the whole process of adapting for the stage, investigating the techniques actors require when performing 'story-theatre'. It includes over two hundred exercises, improvisations and workshops dealing with practical aspects such as building an ensemble and transforming written narrative into drama. Drawing on a range of examples from traditional legends to contemporary fiction, Alfreds shows how each story demands its own particular set of dramatic choices. This book will be invaluable to directors and actors, dramatists working in adaptation, and anyone interested in the power of storytelling in theatre.
