The West Wing Script Book
by Aaron Sorkin
Introduction by Aaron Sorkin
Synopsis
First-time publication of six full scripts from the hit NBC
show—winner of 17 Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series and Best Drama Writing—selected and introduced by creator/writer/executive producer Aaron Sorkin (The American President, A Few Good Men, Sports Night).
This volume collects for the first time ever the scripts of some of the most memorable episodes of The West Wing's first two seasons. The NBC show,
named "TV Show of the Year" by Entertainment Weekly, stars Rob Lowe, Dule Hill, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, John Spencer, Richard Schiff, Bradley Whitford, and Martin Sheen.
Reviewers and fans of The West Wing agree that one of the very best aspects of the series is its writing, which blends an unstoppable sense of urgency with strong character
development against the background of the day-to-day activities of the highest office in the country.
In introductions written exclusively for this book, Sorkin invites us to the lunch that led
him to create and write The West Wing and shares special details about his writing process, casting decisions, and more, including how a studio budget overrun inspired the
timing of President Bartlet's admission of multiple sclerosis. Winner of the Producers Guild Award, Directors Guild Award, Writers Guild Award, Screen Actors Guild
Award, Golden Globe, Humanitas Prize, and the Peabody, The West Wing is as compelling to read as they are to watch.
