How Plays Work has grown out of David Edgar’s teaching in the University of Birmingham’s MA course in playwriting studies, which he founded twenty years ago. Through historical and modern examples, the book analyzes the basic elements of dramatic structure, action, plot, character, dialogue, and genre.
"Fascinating... read it. You will learn a lot."
― The Stage"Lucid, deeply intelligent... combines theoretical acumen with the assured know-how of a working dramatist."
― Terry Eagleton, Times Literary Supplement
