Fundamentals of Dramaturgy. How to Learn to Write, Read, Understand, Love, and Stage Drama in Theatre

Theatre is not just magic and wonder on stage. There are its own laws and rules. Dramaturgy may seem like a complex science, but it all depends on the perspective you approach it from. This book, written by experienced playwright Valentin Krasnogorov, allows us to view the theatre in a new light. There will be no boring academicism and dry institutional theories. This book will teach you to watch, understand, love, and stage plays in a way you never have before. The book is of interest to playwrights, screenwriters, directors, actors, literary scholars, theatre researchers, students of theatre, film, and humanities at universities and colleges, participants in amateur theatres, and everyone who is interested in literature, dramaturgy, and theatre, both for specialists and for readers without special training.
