Book synopsis

Making Plays is a collection of ten interviews with some of the greatest dramatists of our time and the directors with whom they have worked: Howard Brenton and Max Stafford-Clark, Alan Bennett and Nicholas Hytner, David Edgar and Michael Attenborough, David Hare and Richard Eyre, and Michael Frayn and Michael Blakemore. Is there such a thing as the theatrical sublime? How have dramatists responded to the changed political climate of the 1980s and 1990s? Brenton on Brecht; Bennett on Larkin; Edgar on eastern Europe; Hare on Chekhov. These are just some of the topics covered in this unique and invaluable guide to the collaboration of some of the most important theatre practitioners of our time. The plays discussed include Brenton's Bloody Poetry, Bennett's The Madness of George III, Edgar's Pentecost, Hare's Amy's View, and Frayn's Copenhagen.
