David Rush takes beginning playwrights through the first draft of a play and deep into the revision process. Drawing on examples from such classics as Othello and The Glass Menagerie; Rush provides detailed models for writers to evaluate their work for weaknesses and focus on the in-depth development of their plays. Rush encourages writers to make sure their plays are clear and focused. He shows how to keep plays dramatically compelling and offers ways to avoid common mistakes that make them dull; confusing; or ineffective. He then distills the essence of traditional revision into key questions and discusses frequently overlooked tools; terms; and strategies that go beyond established methods of evaluation.

If youre looking for wonderful Spanish and English bilingual poetry dealing with a part of our bodies that is rarely loved and spoken of; this is it!The Panza Monologues is a poetry book co-written by two wonderful authors that deals with stomachs/flab/love handles/anything-else-you-may-call-it. There is no set genre; but the fixed theme is "tummies." This may not sound interesting to many; but try reading several poems such as "From Cha-Cha to Panza" and "Sucking It In" - theyre wonderful; relatable writings!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Power to the PanzaBy Barbara Renaud GonzalezI loved this book. It is harmoniously crammed with Chicana stories; back stories; fundraising plans; playwriting theory; and more; so that I am beginning to understand the sheer wealth of this artform; and its great potential for my community.The stories are heartbreakingly exposed and written so that they will leave you gasping. Virginia Grise is a devastatingwriter who made me laugh through the tears of truth. I wish that many; many; women read and use this manual; this book; this Panza-bible.
