Most of the books I've been reading about dramaturgy spend forever talking about how no one can define exactly what dramaturgy is. This books just interviews a collection of Canadian and American dramaturgs that have been working for decades, and lets them talk about what they do, providing a collective definition. Quite a fascinating look at process in theatre, from writing to production. The book is divided into a Canadian half and an American half with the interviews conducted by one person for each country, which display the very different nature of each theatre scene.
