highly recommend for solo performers

I’ve been stuck on revisions to my one-woman show for awhile. The author and his interviewees gave me a ton of ideas for next steps. Comprehensive guide to writing, performing, directing and producing solo work.

pretty good book with advice on how to write your own scripts and lots of interviews with actors who have done so.
