Notes

1 I am aware that not all dramaturgs experience the job satisfaction of a co-creative working environment on every project. See D. J. Hopkins, ‘Research, Counter-Text, Performance: Reconsidering the (Textual) Authority of the Dramaturg’, Theatre Topics, 13.1 (2003), 1–17 for a discussion of the relative authority of the dramaturg in the rehearsal room.
