Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "How to Write a Play" is an essential guide to the craft of dramatic composition, authored by the distinguished dramatist and critic St. John Ervine. Drawing upon his extensive experience in the theater, Ervine provides a practical and insightful exploration of the fundamental principles req…uired to create a successful stage play.
