Page "Dramatic structure" Paragraph 14

A specific exposition stage is criticized by Lajos Egri in The Art of Dramatic Writing.

He states, “ exposition itself is part of the whole play, and not simply a fixture to be used at the beginning and then discarded .” According to Egri, the actions of a character reveal who they are, and exposition should come about naturally.

The beginning of the play should therefore begin with the initial conflict.
