Based largely on concepts derived from Stanislavski's system of acting and method acting, the book focuses on action - what characters do to each other in specific circumstances, times, and places - as the engine of every play. From this foundation, readers will learn to distinguish the big picture of a script, dissect and 'score' smaller units and moment-to-moment action, and create individualized blueprints from which to collaborate on shaping the action in production from their perspectives as actors, directors, and designers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScript Analysis for Theatre\u003c\/i\u003e offers a practical approach to script analysis for theatre production and is grounded in case studies of a range of the most studied plays, including Sophocles' \u003ci\u003eOedipus the King\u003c\/i\u003e, Shakespeare's \u003ci\u003eTwelfth Night\u003c\/i\u003e, Henrik Ibsen's \u003ci\u003eHedda Gabler\u003c\/i\u003e, Georg Büchner's \u003ci\u003eWoyzeck\u003c\/i\u003e, Oscar Wilde's \u003ci\u003eThe Importance of Being Earnest\u003c\/i\u003e, Tennessee Williams's \u003ci\u003eA Streetcar Named Desire\u003c\/i\u003e, and Paula Vogel's \u003ci\u003eHow I Learned to Drive\u003c\/i\u003e, among others.
