DRAMATURGICAL SERVICES

Along with writing plays, Hank has served as a dramaturg for a number of playwrights who have hired Hank to help them analyze their plays and figure out the next steps to make them production-ready. More specifically, Hank tries to help the playwright figure out what’s there and where they should go next with their play, being less prescriptive and more attuned to how the playwright can best used the dramatic form to tell their story.
