What reading level is How to Write a Play book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

No preparatory studies arenecessary; no initiation in a studio or school is indispensable; eyes tosee, ears to hear--that's all they need. The moment we depart, I willnot say from the truth, but from what they think is truth, they stoplistening. For in the theater, as in life, of which the theater is thereflexion, there are two kinds of truth; first, the absolute truth, which always in the end prevails, and secondly, if not the false, atleast the superficial truth, which consists of customs, ma...nners, socialconventions; the uncompromising truth which revolts, and the plianttruth which yields to human weakness; in short, the truth of Alceste andthat of Philinte.
It is only by making every kind of concession to the second that we cansucceed in ending with the first. The spectators, like allsovereigns--like kings, nations, and women--do not like to be told thetruth, all the truth. Let me add quickly that they have an excuse, whichis that they do not know the truth;--they have rarely been told it.
