The art of dramaturgy. Creative interpretation of human motives

The author of this book, the legendary playwright, Lyosh Egri, teacher, is sure that it is completely optional to be a genius to write a fascinating play for the theater production. And what is needed for this? First of all, finding an idea is the plan in which the work will be built. He also tells what role the characters actually play and why at some point they begin to “write their own scenario”, where to draw inspiration, whether the writer should rely on intuition and what rules cannot be neglected in any case.
The book The Art of Drama will be interesting to those who want to try themselves as a playwright, both professional and beginner authors. Egri analyzes how masterpieces appear, how the mediocre play differs from the standing production, which is the essence of difficult writing and what extraordinary efforts are behind the creation of each literary work. The principles proposed by the author are so effective that they are equally applicable to the story, novel and script of the television movie
