Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book is a must-read for anyone interested in directing drama...I cannot praise this book highly enough...When I studied for my MA in theatre and film I struggled to unpick scripts and dramatic texts - if I'd read this book I would have had a far easier journey of discovery and a practical tool-kit to enable me to understand scripts and bring them to life on screen. The language is dense and quite academic, but the reader is rewarded with invaluable information." - Focus magazine --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
