Reviews

'...an important book that deserves the attention not only of drama teachers but anyone concerned with designing the school curriculum...The case is impressively made, and overwhelming.' - Times Educational Supplement 'It is good to read a book that views watching and understanding a play as a two way means of communication.' - Education Review 'A thoughtful and passionate book that fuels the fires of the longstanding process/product debate close to the heart of all drama/theatre practitioners and scholars.' - Canadian Journal of Education
