Solo: The Everything Guide to Writing, Performing and Producing Your One-Person Show
Solo is the essential how-to volume for anyone interested in creating a solo show.
We take readers from idea inception through drafting, re-writing, rehearsal, and performance. You’ll find chapters on high-stakes narratives, compelling characters, structure, the role of narrators, and lots of practical exercises to apply to your play. Find interviews with performers at every stage of their careers, examples from real one-person shows and advice on collaborating with directors, incorporating technical elements, and marketing strategies.
Whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned professional looking to refine your show-in-progress, it’s all here!
