Martin Meisel's engaging book looks at how we read play plays on the page. Cultivated in tone and jargon-free, his incisive account is illuminated by dozens of judiciously chosen examples from western drama - from classical Greek dramatists to contemporary playwrights, both canonical and relatively obscure. How Plays Work will appeal as much to the serious student of the theatre as to the playgoer who likes to read a play before seeing it performed.
