About The Book

<p>In <i>Words for the Theatre</i> playwright David Cole<i> </i>pursues a course of dramaturgical self-questioning on the part of a playwright centred on the act of playwriting.</p><p></p><p>The book’s four essays each offer a dramaturgical perspective on a different aspect of the playwright’s practice: How does the playwright juggle the transcriptive and prescriptive aspects of their activity? Does the ultimate performance of a playtext in fact represent something to which all writing aspires? Does the playwright’s process of withdrawing to create their text echo a similar process in the theatre more widely? Finally how can the playwright counter theatre’s pervasive leaning towards the ‘mistake’ of realism?</p><p></p><p>Suited to playwrights teachers and higher-level students this volume of essays offers reflections on the questions that confront every playwright from an author well-versed in supplying words for the theatre.</p>
