Wow wow wow. This episode is chock full of information, education, and insight, I could've gone on for another hour and a half. Michael Wright shares so much information throughout our chat. The plethora of topics we cover is immense and his knowledge is never ending. His exercises, or as he calls them "etudes", will help any playwright or writer struggling or weak in any particular playwriting element from technique, character, plot, structure, collaboration, and writer's block. We also cover the "jobs" of the playwright, adding texture and layers, sensory elements in writing, creating solid dialogue, getting to know your characters, and making the audience a "partner." The information in this discussion is so extensive, any writer will benefit form the first minute to the last. Listen or watch, and then get to writing. I'm sure you'll be inspired.
