Playwriting books

Hello, I’m interested in finding books dedicated to the art of playwriting and the different styles of plays. Do anyone have one to recommend? Also on theatre directing too! Thanks

Matthew Parvin

Hello Mandi! I use "The Playwright's Handbook" by Frank Pike and Thomas G. Dunn. Here's the ISBN: 0-452-25688-7. Hope it helps!

Mandi Allen

Thanks Matthew, will check that out.
