Faithin Omaha eBook Collection

Download or read book The Art of the Dramatist written by J. B. Priestley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these passionate and witty essays on the theatre, J B Priestley distils his experience as a playwright, producer, director and - just once - actor. Relishing the past, analysing the present, and predicting the future, he tells his own 'story of the theatre'. Published as a companion to Oberon's two volumes of Priestley's best plays, this new collection is part defence of theatre, part incisive criticism, and, in the renowned Old Vic lecture The Art of the Dramatist, part instructive guide for would-be playwrights.
