In this episode of The Writer’s Toolkit Podcast, we explore the benefits of engaging a dramaturg in the development of new writing with special guest, Script Consultant and Dramaturg, Allison Horsley. With an impressive background that spans American regional theatres and Broadway musicals like Jersey Boys and Doctor Zhivago, plus her work with the translation of Chekhov's major plays, Allison’s insights are invaluable. She is also the co-author of Writing Adaptations and Translations for the Stage. Join us as we explore how dramaturgy can elevate new writing and provide crucial support for playwrights.
