(PRLeap.com) "Six Plays", a new book by R.W. Leland, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.A new body of work that bridges the gap between literary depth and theatrical feasibility.
Refining his creative voice while serving as a college professor, R.W. Leland waited until the conclusion of his teaching career to execute these projects fully. This unique trajectory allowed him to prioritize authentic expression over commercial pressure.
"It's a great luxury to have been able to write without the need to earn a living from it," says Leland. For him, the needs of commerce and the integrity of authentic expression parted company long ago. That isn't to say authentic work has no commercial value, but rather that it must spring from a more important origin.
Despite this commitment to artistic purity, Leland's work is deeply grounded in the "real world" of the theatre. Drawing on his extensive background in directing, he meticulously crafted each script to satisfy the five pillars of production: the playwright's language, the actor's performance, the director's vision, the producer's requirements, and the stage designer's constraints.
The author views these written pages not as a final product, but as an invitation. A play trapped on the page is an audition of sorts. It seeks to belong, first in the imagination of the reader, and eventually as a visual construct on stage. Even a brief encounter with a story can change the direction of a life.
"Six Plays" is a 362-page paperback with a retail price of $24.00 (eBook $19.00). The ISBN is 979-8-89978-041-7. Published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
