This well-loved copy of “Write a Play and Get It Performed” bears the marks of a book that has been thoroughly studied and enjoyed. Published in the late 20th century, this practical guide aimed to demystify the playwriting process for aspiring dramatists. Co-authored by Lesley Bown and Ann Gawthorpe, two experienced writers and educators, the book offered a comprehensive approach to crafting a play, from developing characters and structuring scenes to navigating the submission and production process.
At a time when community theater and regional playwriting festivals were gaining momentum, this volume served as a valuable resource for writers seeking to bring their stories to the stage. Its dog-eared pages and marginalia offer a glimpse into the creative journey of its former owner, perhaps an amateur playwright or drama enthusiast. Despite its well-worn condition, this copy represents a tangible connection to the vibrant world of grassroots theater and the enduring pursuit of storytelling through live performance.
