This second edition is fully aligned with a companion book, 'Character, Scene, and Story', which offers 42 additional activities to help writers more fully develop their scripts. The two books include cross-references between related exercises, though each volume can also stand alone. No ordinary guide to plotting, this handbook centres on the principle that character is key. 'The character is not something added to the scene or to the story', writes Dunne. 'Rather, the character is the scene. The character is the story'. With this new edition, Dunne's remarkable creative method will continue to be the go-to source for anyone hoping to take their story to the stage.
