All good dramatic writing hinges on people and their relationships, which serve to move the story forward and give it life, as well as an understanding of human motives -- why people act the way that they do. Using examples from everything from William Shakespeare'sRomeo and Julietto Henrik Ibsen'sA Doll's House,Egri shows how it is essential for the author to have a basic premise -- a thesis, demonstrated in terms of human behavior -- and to develop the dramatic conflict on the basis of that behavior.Using Egri's ABCs of premise, character, and conflict,The Art of Dramatic Writingis a direct, jargon-free approach to the problem of achievingtruth in writing., Learn the basic techniques every successful playwright knows!
