	Playwright’s Workbook by Jean-Claude van Itallie
		But playwrights are often presumed somehow to spring forth full-grown like Athena from the head of Zeus.
		Playwrights are viewed as artists who must miraculously make something out of nothing.
		The idea of the playwright as mere head and hands (with the actor as mindless body) is pernicious.

	The Playwright
		It is only at the end of the process, when the playwright has a complete work, that he or she begins to show it to others, in hopes of finding a person or theatrical organization that will produce the play.
		But playwrights can write plays that seem to be located in homes and schools and offices that are similar to the ones we are familiar with in real life, populated with people similar to the people we live and work with.
		The playwrights whose work seems to be most highly valued are those playwrights who find a way to take the particular form in which they work, and make it more compelling, more expressive, more capable of reflecting and providing insights about the experiences that their audiences find meaningful.

	Playwright - Uncyclopedia
		A playwright is a highly dangerous breed of artist who enjoys frolicking in the woods while creating imaginary friends for himself.
		However, due to their "vivid imaginations" and "artistic license", it is very rare that one actually sees a playwright accurately posing as a human.
		Playwright is somewhat similar to that of disposing of a Grimsby, as defined in The Meaning of Liff by

	William Shakespeare the greatest English playwright
		Shakespeare is renowned as the English playwright and poet whose body of works is considered the greatest in history of English literature.
		By 1596, Shakespeare was so successful as a playwright that his family was finally granted a Coat of Arms which amongst other things allowed Shakespeare to call himself a "gentleman".
		However borrowing plots and taking liberties with historical facts was not uncommon in Shakespeare's time and his skill for language, imagery, pun and his creative adaption of myth and history have set Shakespeare apart as arguably the greatest playwright of all time.

	ArtsAlive.ca - English Theatre : Playwright's Corner
		While the work of the playwright can stand on its own as literature, its potential is fully realized only when the skills of all the other theatre artists combine to transform the script into a production of a play.
		But because the skillful ordering and re-creation of events is central to the playwright’s art, the final task of shaping the raw material into a coherent and effective playscript will normally fall to the playwright.
		Playwrights may also develop a new script with feedback and guidance from a dramaturg.

	Playwright Arthur Miller dies at age 89 - THEATER - MSNBC.com
		Playwright Edward Albee said Miller had paid him a compliment, saying “that my plays were ‘necessary.’ I will go one step further and say that Arthur’s plays are ‘essential.”’

	The Plays of Max Sparber
		In some workshops, the playwright is encouraged to answer questions and defend his or her plays, in others the playwright is encouraged to stoically listen to all the responses without interjecting explanations or defending their text.
		David Crespy, who led a number of the play labs that I participated in this past week, liked to have the playwright bring up a question that they had about their own script, and this would be the first thing we responded to.
		I suspect that every playwright secretly harbors the urge to be an actor, and both these men, as with the others in the conference, are terrifically witty.

	About the Playwright: Georges Feydeau
		Meanwhile Edmond Rostand sought to give France a new hero in his Cyrano de Bergerac (1897), and another playwright, Georges Feydeau, endeavored to make France laugh through his vaudevillian farces and, in the process, dominated the genre well into la belle époque of the nascent twentieth century.
		Yet, as Leonard Pronko has suggested, “lurking beneath the frenetically joyous surface [of Feydeau’s farces] is a vision of the world in explosion,” one which, in fact, anticipated the bloody wars of the twentieth century (Georges Feydeau [New York: Frederick Ungar Publishing Co., 1975], 5).
		His career continued to blossom as he became the most popular playwright of the boulevard theatre and a great success abroad as well.
