By addressing both enthusiasts of theater and enthusiasts of dramatic literature, Thaiss and Davis demonstrate how one's understanding of drama is enriched by critical attention to both performance and text. It specifically addresses the writing needs of a novice playwright, not in conjunction with "writing about literature," but about the play as subject in its own right.

This book provides critical analysis of play texts, as well as performance reviews, theater history research, and other examples that enliven understanding and promote versatility. In its sequence of chapters, it addresses projects of increasing sophistication, from performance reviews and play analyses to theater history research and dramatic theory papers.

As a general guide to good writing, this book also promotes learning and critical/creative thought. Introductory chapters cover the principles of good writing and offer strategies to help readers overcome writer's block, organize effectively and avoid common usage and style pitfalls.

Amy Dickinson stated, "When you sing, you are communicating poetry that was so beautiful that a composer decided to set it to music." American Literary Press Editor: "In this eclectic collection of poems, songs, and musical theater, Murphy pens both humorous and sensitive words that are filled with colorful descriptions, double entendres, and fitting Southern drawls.

The author combines a lyrical feel for cadence, rhythm, and rhyme with a strong command of the English language to deliver some poignant and witty explorations of the human psyche. From macabre descriptions to heartfelt sentiments, Murphy bares an emphatic soul.

His forays into musical theater are noteworthy, but particularly exceptional is "Luke and Sarah," which, in telling the story of two feuding mountain clans, dichotomizes the prim and the salacious, the virtuous and vulgar. It would be wonderful to see this work performed on stage as it is a sort of backwoods "West Side Story.

" The words to "Member" and "Truck Stop" are also lyrics that can be independently enjoyed for their purely poetical properties." (less)
