Breaking from Realism introduces 15 concepts, methods, and tools from creative workshops, all of which guide playwrights away from conventions of realism and toward more theatrical and imaginative forms of theatre. The goal is for playwrights to write theatrical text that better reflects life as it is in the 21st century. This book also includes interviews with prominent playwrights, non-realistic plays, profiles on emerging playwrights, and a select list of American theatres producing non-realistic work.
