Describe the typical components of the development process for a new play. What are the steps in that process,
and at which point(s) can revisions occur?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:Most
writers need to see their work performed before they can be sure they have
accomplished what they intended.
An early step may involve having actors read the play aloud.
At such a reading, listeners might offer advice or reactions.
Following revisions, the next step may be a staged reading.
A new-play dramaturg might helps the playwright revise the script by tracking the clarity
of storytelling, offering insight into potential meanings.
A regional theatre might produce an early version of the play, following which the
playwright will make additional revisions.
