It is a word you might never have heard of, and a job you might never have known existed.
But dramaturgs are all the rage backstage in theatres, and even more traditional venues like the Royal Opera House.
That is where our Arts Editor, Will Gompertz, tracked down Uzma Hameed - a member of this rare but flourishing species - to find out what on earth a dramaturg is and does.

Uzma Hameed, dramaturg
Will Gompertz's mystique is aptly captured in your vlog! I finally understood the concept after you compared it to a "story detective" or "narrative midwife." Before I discovered the Take My Law Exam For Me service, I was feeling overburdened by my legal studies, but it gave me clarity and balance again. I now genuinely understand how a dramaturg creates the soul of a script and makes sure that each component advances the plot. Your explanation clarified a frequently overlooked but crucial artistic function; I appreciate your insightful article.
