Sinopsis

Puns Explained offers a deep dive into the world of puns, exploring why these simple forms of humor elicit such varied reactions. By examining puns through linguistic analysis, cognitive psychology, and historical context, the book reveals how they exploit ambiguity and semantic overlap. Did you know that understanding puns involves complex mental processes, including resolving semantic incongruity? Or that puns have been used in rhetoric since ancient times? This exploration moves beyond the surface to show how puns shape our understanding of language and the world. The book systematically progresses, starting with core linguistic concepts and transitioning into cognitive aspects, drawing from research in cognitive psychology. It then embarks on a historical journey, demonstrating the shifting roles and social significance of puns. By integrating these perspectives, Puns Explained provides a comprehensive framework for understanding puns and their relevance to fields like education and therapy, offering valuable insights into crafting effective humor and understanding how humor functions as a coping mechanism.

    A clear, supportive and comprehensive guide to writing a play – based on the author's long-running playwriting masterclasses, as taught at the UK's National Theatre.
    This book leads you through everything you need to know, including:
    
    - The theatrical tools and techniques you can use to bring your play to life on the stage (and how these differ from writing for film and TV)
    - Discovering and trusting your writing process, with a range of approaches for developing your initial idea into a completed script
    - Understanding your characters, including their goals and central conflicts, and using emotional logic to connect them to your story
    - Finding the dramatic structure and theatrical setting that best suits your play
    - The key elements of constructing a great scene, including how to invoke tension, deepen characterisation and create effective transitions
    - Writing engaging, active dialogue by finding each character's voice, balancing exposition with subtext, and rooting what a character says in their specific context
    Throughout, you'll find examples from classical and modern plays, plus insights from other contemporary playwrights into their own writing journeys. Each chapter provides a set of exercises to help you practise what you've learnt.
    There's also advice on what to do once you've finished your script – including redrafting, receiving feedback and taking notes – and how to navigate your play's progress towards production.
    Whether you're an emerging playwright or embarking on your first-ever play, The Playwright's Journey will help you develop your creativity, strengthen your connection to your material, and transform your idea into a fully formed play that feels alive on the page – and the stage.
    'A very, very smart book which left me nodding in sage agreement with every chapter... [Lays] bare the most complex, convoluted ideas with exquisite lucidity, wit and empathy... A substantial and rare aesthetic achievement which every aspiring playwright, producer and director should read and respect' Joe Penhall
    'Kind, good, sane and useable advice, brilliantly written' Blanche McIntyre
