ABSTRACT
What is character? Where is it born? What gives us courage? What makes us prideful? What do we yearn for? What would we kill for? What makes one person stand erect and the other stooped? Why will one run from danger and the other run into it? What gives each of us our uniqueness, our own sound, our charac ter? These are the questions every playwright must answer before beginning his or her script because dramatic pieces, above all, are about people — what they do and why they do it. Plays are about events happening between people and as such are grounded in the reality of the characters who are participating in those special events.
