Publisher's Synopsis

The Art of Dramatic Writing by Lajos Egri is a comprehensive guide to crafting compelling and effective plays, screenplays, and other forms of dramatic writing. Egri argues that the key to successful dramatic writing is a deep understanding of human motives and psychology, and he offers practical advice on how to develop characters, plot, and dialogue that reflect this understanding. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the importance of conflict, the use of symbolism, the structure of acts and scenes, and the role of theme in storytelling. Egri also includes numerous examples from classic and contemporary plays and films to illustrate his points. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced writer, The Art of Dramatic Writing is a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their skills in this challenging and rewarding art form.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
