Character (The Art of Role and Cast Design for Page, Stage, and Screen)

The long-awaited third volume of Robert McKee’s trilogy on the art of fiction.

CHARACTER explores the design of a character universe: The dimensionality, complexity and arcing of a protagonist, the invention of orbiting major characters, all encircled by a cast of service and supporting roles.
