What reading level is Play-Making : a Manual of Craftsmanship book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That is the characteristic mental attitude of the theatrical audience. If the mind is not stretching forward, the body will soon weary of its immobility and constraint. Attention may be called the momentary correlative of tension. When we are intent on what is to come, we are attentive to what is there and then happening. The term tension is some- times applied, not to the mental state of the audi- ence, but to the relation of the characters on the stage. " A scene of high tension " is primaril...y one in which the actors undergo a great emotional strain. But this is, after all, only a means towards heightening the mental tension of the audience.
In such a scene the mind stretches forward, no longer to something vague and distant, but to some- thing instant and imminent.
In discussing what Freytag calls the erregende Moment, we might have defined it as the starting- point of the tension. A reasonable audience will, if necessary, endure a certain amount of exposi- tion, a certain positing of character and circum- stance, before the tension sets in; but when it once has set in, the playwright must on no account suffer it to relax until he deliberately resolves it 194 PLAY-MAKING just before the fall of the curtain.
