Hear what directors and critics are saying:

Excellent.  Clear and crisply written and thoroughly comprehensive.  It covers pretty well every aspect of writing a play from the idea through the production.  It’s very well laid out and would be invaluable for a young playwright (or even an older one).  I wish I had it when I was a teeanager?it would have saved me a lot of grief. Peter Colley, author of I’ll be Back Before Midnight and creator of “Great Dialogue” software


More that any other playwriting text I know, this book addresses the real, practical issues facing young playwrights today.  Dorf never loses sight of the fact that the purpose of playwriting is production.  It?s not about writing an opus that will live in a drawer?this book will help young people write plays that will actually be produced.  A must-read for any up-and-coming young dramatic voice. Matt Buchanan, Playwright and Child Drama Specialist, Theatre Director, St. Luke’s School, New Canaan, CT
