See My Purpose 20 Plays

See My Purpose: 20 Plays by Samuel Williams is a collection of 20 0f the author's contemporary creative works with contents that range from gangs to God. This compilation of inspired didactic works is sure to both entertain as well as enlighten its every reader whether they be 8 or 80. The poignant and powerful messages contained in each of these works transcend all barriers of ethnicity, socio-economics, religions, genders, political persuasions and other such natural divides in our society and, rather, focus their intention, purpose and energy on identifying and destroying the inherent destructive and debilitating forces and influences present at every level of man's existence regardless of his possessions, successes or titles. The messages and realism in these works is as applicable to a Jewish family as they are to a Hindu, Causasian, Hispanic, Asian or Afro-American family. See My Purpose is just that, the author's attempt and intent to allow the world to see his divinely appointed purpose through the craft of drama.

David Rush takes beginning playwrights through the first draft of a play and deep into the revision process. Drawing on examples from such classics as Othello and The Glass Menagerie, Rush provides detailed models for writers to evaluate their work for weaknesses and focus on the in-depth development of their plays. Rush encourages writers to make sure their plays are clear and focused. He shows how to keep plays dramatically compelling and offers ways to avoid common mistakes that make them dull, confusing, or ineffective. He then distills the essence of traditional revision into key questions and discusses frequently overlooked tools, terms, and strategies that go beyond established methods of evaluation.
