"The one-person play has a long and distinguished history, as well as being (a) one of the most economical forms of theatre and (b) a wonderful showcase for an actor, a playwright, and a director - especially when all three are the same person! Dean of American playwriting texts, Louis Catron offers an outstanding guide for play-wrights, actors, and directors who are interested in working in this form.

He demonstrates techniques of writing, acting, and directing that encourage the reader to create a personal theatrical experience."--BOOK JACKET.
