Who doesn’t love The Dark Side?
Darth Vader, Cruella De Vil, Tony Soprano—everybody loves a great villain. And every story needs dramatic conflict—internal and external—to really resonate. This comprehensive, accessible book gives you tools to write the most despicable villains.
Conflict is the very heart and soul of drama, and Smith’s latest work explores character conflict and the various ways to portray it both in scripts and on the stage. Defining the Dark Side helps you select and clarify the worldview that influences your character’s actions.
