Reviews
Grade 6 Up Here's the ideal book for those who have always wanted to write a play but somehow lacked the courage. Korty takes the mystery out of the playwriting process, convincing readers that they can write a play. A clear, concise writing style and well-known examples help to strengthen Korty's common-sense advice on all aspects of play creationfrom choosing a story to production. Especially valuable are the book's glossary and the selected bibliographies. A much-needed addition to the theater collections in both school and public libraries. Denise A. Anton, Corn Belt Library System, Normal, Ill.
