If you are a playwright, or a budding playwright, you need to read this book. Playwrights understand. It's like being pregnant; only another pregnant woman would really understand. However, non-playwrights can get a lot out of this book as well. GREAT!
The playwrights in here I am not interested in exceptOnesco. There was not much in depth study of theseplaywrights.
Good Reference guide which can give you an opening the the mind of a playwright an why he or she does the things they do when writing.
