A formalist approach to analyzing plays
James Thomas’s seventh edition focuses on the written text of a play as a basis for assessing its possibilities in performance and production. Its formalist approach makes script analysis the shared point of departure for actors, directors, and designers, connecting close attention to the text with practical theatrical work. The book is centered on how a script can be evaluated for what it offers onstage and in production, making its subject relevant across several roles in theatre-making.
