Provocative read for anyone involved in theater
One of the most important questions you need to consider as an artist is the relationship between the work, and the audience.

Outstanding Book for Theatre Theorists
After teaching theatre for over 30 years, immersed in western theatre ideals, Boal's theories shifted my way of thinking upside down.

Thought provoking, educational, exciting
The first two sections , while long, dense and confusing, make clear Boal's argument for the necessity of a change in theater practice if it's going to be a vehicle of change.

This should be required reading in our theatre schools, but is generally relegated to the extra credit section of additional reading.
