Every play can be divided into six elements from which it derives its basic nature: plot, character, idea, dialogue, tempo-rhythm-mood (Aristotle's music), and production values (scenery, costumes, lighting, etc.).
Amazon: Script Analysis for Actors, Directors, and Designers applies directly to the experience of theatrical production; students will immediately be able to relate the concepts and procedures they learn to their artistic work. The author's procedural method is detailed and show more precise. The parts of a play are learned progressively, which fosters an understanding of the concept of artistic unity. Examples are clear and comprehensive. Actors, directors, and designers will benefit from end-of-chapter questions and summaries meant to stimulate their creative process as they engage in production work. show less
