He is concerned with dramatic analysis that can be of benefit to directors, designers, and even actors. Analysis of character, action, dialogue, and setting can thus be translated into concepts for theatrical production. The three key benefits of Analyzing Drama are:Most so-called play analysis texts are books about the methods and techniques of play analysis but contain few (if any) actual play analyses.
