I want to know how to organize complex plots for theater. Let me give you guys some examples of what I mean by complex plots:
>A Midsummer Night Dream
>Twelfth Night
>The Comedy of Errors
>Volpone
>A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
>A Little Night Music
>Some Like it Hot
>A Fished Called Wanda
I want to know how I can organize a plot with disguises, change of identities, mistakes, masquerades, last minute inversions, revelations, and all that web of knotty lines of action that eventually converge on a single point.
Is there a book that helps with this kind of ploting? The books about plot I know focus more on simpler things, on how to gain ideas for the main plot, on the act structure, but not on how to organize yourself in so complicated labyrinths.
