Sardou the Master Playwright and His Methods
Victorien Sardou, famed by critics as the world’s greatest playwright in certain fields, excels at shaping dramatic situations especially around heroic women. He builds from a woman's influence, then crafts incidents and a grand background, massaging history, settings, and character into a marketable stage piece. He writes the dialogue last, laboring on historical detail for years, and has become immensely wealthy through intense collaborations with managers and stars.
