Description

The Playwright's Journey From First Spark to First Night by Jemma Kennedy is a comprehensive guide to writing a play. Based on her long-running masterclasses at the UK's National Theatre, this book takes you through everything you need to know to bring your script to life.

Discover how to develop your initial idea into a completed script, understand your characters and their goals, and construct engaging scenes that invoke tension and deepen characterisation. You'll also learn how to write active dialogue and navigate the process of redrafting and receiving feedback.

With examples from classical and modern plays, as well as insights from other contemporary playwrights, this book provides a supportive and practical approach to writing a play. Each chapter includes exercises to help you practise what you've learnt, making it an ideal resource for emerging or experienced playwrights looking to develop their skills.
