Introduction To Play Analysis Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
“To succeed in the theatre, students must have strong skills in analyzing plays.” So states the authors’ rationale for this concise text that offers a step-by-step approach to recognizing how plays work. Pritner and Walters guide the reader through four levels of reading a play. This approach progresses from a purely subjective and personal response, through objective information gathering, and on to more complex levels of interpretation. Each chapter of Introduction to Play Analysis introduces a concept that is then explored by studying its application to The Glass Menagerie, chosen for its simultaneous accessibility and complexity. Other examples rely on works by Sophocles, Molière, August Wilson, and Shakespeare. End-of-chapter questions can be applied to any play being analyzed.

This is an excellent and methodical look at how one may analyse a theatrical script. BUT--watch out for the pricing of this book McGraw-Hill lists this book at $50. has it for around $34 and it seems to be going used for about $23. This is, at most, a companion text which needs copies of the analysed scripts ("Glass Menagerie," "Joe Turner's Come and Gone," "Tartuffe," and "Hamlet" to get the full effect (all parts of one of McGraw-Hill's theatre anthologies). While says that this book is 144 pages, my copy (also first edition and also published in 2005) is only 114 pages long.Don't get me wrong--I think that this is a perfect companion to any theatre class where students are going to be required to read scripts, but I cannot in good conscience require a text that is this expensive and this short. If it was around $15, bundled with their anthology, or even provided as an appendix to one of their anthologies it would be an excellent addition to my class. As it is I'll simply put a copy on reserve in our library and suggest students use it to help with their assignments.
I am lucky enough to know one of the authors, and have been able to study this book in his class. I loved the class, and loved the book.
It was quick service. The book was ordered and literally got here to me in a week! Thank you.
Book in great condition and the price saved me lots of money. This is a required textbook for many Theatre Arts programs around the country.
