{"product_id":"9781453584910","title":"Playwriting: The Fundamentals","description":"Summary  • The Nigerian theatre milieu is trapped in a cobweb of strangulating strings. Little wonder, therefore, that its growth has been impaired over the years.  • The numerous multi-tribal thrusts in Nigeria disallow the full growth and development of theatre forms and trends.   • The university and other degree-awarding institutions engaged in theatre studies, have not carved out uniquely distinguishing styles that can be said to be theirs.   • The Nigerian theatre makers themselves are not style-driven and technique-creating. An ideal repertory of form can hardly be identified with them in a sustainable manner.   • The National Theatre set up as a symbol of the nation's cultural pride, now stands as a totem for the nation's creative shame;    • The state-owned Cultural Centre Boards are devoid of objectives in focused cultural promotions.   • Many graduates of the arts-prefer other creative businesses. A few die-hards are bedeviled by frustrating dilemmas as businessmen refuse to patronise theatre because they consider it a wasteful venture, while international agencies shun it because of its profit-making outlook.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124443332848,"sku":"9781453584910","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781453584910_p0.jpg?v=1763848559","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781453584910","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
