I read this in class along with another method of script analysis. I recommend this style every time.

This was the textbook I used for Play Analysis this semester, on a recommendation. Definitely actor-heavy and grounded in formalist practice and Stanislavski (and his followers) technique, but I found it quite useful for breaking down texts (especially with acting and directing students).

Very detailed and full of possibilities for future analysis of plays.
Good guide to criticism and script analysis. Helps both creative and analytic sides of the coin.
2.5 stars. Woo. I read this for my Script Analysis class. It certainly is very wordy and in some places overly complex. It was tiring to read at times, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't read anything of value. I'll remember a lot of the good advice for actors from this book, but boy, the last chapter on postmodernism, in the edition I read, left a sour taste in my mouth. Maybe it was just a personal preference but postmodernism is not the most uplifting thing to read about after you've spent a...

Although, it's contains examples for plays, it's been incredibly useful for my short film.

Well-structured and compete guide to understanding the study of the written part of a play that constitutes the basis of a well-developed and inspired production. The book covers action analysis, given circumstances, background story, external and internal action, progressions and structure, character, 'adaptations', idea, dialogue, tempo-rhythm-mood and style. Keen theatre goers (not only drama students) "will be able to incorporate the concepts and processes and benefit from clear examples". T...

Lengthy. It's not a miserable or even a bad read, very explanatory and informative, but a bit long and boring in some of the descriptions. The explanations and examples are worth it, however.
