A Completely New View of How Drama Works,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dramatic Structure and Meaning in Theatrical Productions (Hardcover)
This book offers a well-argued general theory of how plays and screenplays work, and what they mean. The theory is based on the assumption that dramatic fantasies are binary and dialectical in nature, and that the two sides of the dramatic collision represent the dominant and recessive voices of the author's mind at the time of writing. The first part of the work is densely written but rewards careful reading with an an revolutionary new way of looking at dramatic structure and meaning. The second part is easier sailing and shows in detail how all dramas fit into just seven dynamic patterns, one of which will lead us to the dialectical meaning of any drama we care to submit to this interesting and fruitful method of analysis.
