For the first time, Alan Ayckbourn shares all of his tricks of the playwright’s trade.

Written in Ayckbourn’s signature style that combines humor, seriousness, and heady air of theatrical sophistication that Noel Coward would envy, The Crafty Art of Playmaking is a must-have for aspiring playwrights and students of drama.
