Dialogue is an extremely important aspect of storytelling and creative writing. Playwrights use almost exclusively dialogue to tell their tales. In Creative Writing and English classes it is good to “raise the stakes” when teaching students how to write dialogue by having them practice writing a short play (or just part of a short play). The experience of trying to tell a story with only dialogue makes embellishing a story with dialogue much easier.
