Dramaturgy

love it...or hate it...

Terry McCabe on "The Production Dramaturg"My argument is not really an attack on dramaturgs. There are many excellent dramaturgs, just as there are many excellent designated hitters in the American League. But the designated hitter rule, because it creates an unnecessary team member, is a disservice to baseball, and the emergence of the dramaturg as a distinct position is likewise a disservice to the theater. Independent of the performance of individual dramaturgs, it has this harmful effect: it puts distance between the director and the play.
