Acts of Service: Spontaneity, Commitment, Tradition in the Nonscripted Theatre

Abstract

In this newly published book, the founder of Playback Theatre presents his most comprehensive overview of the nature of this important method and its place in the sociocultural realm of dramatic activities in general. I have been impressed with the excitement about Playback Theatre and how it has been taken up by people in drama therapy. It is being used internationally, and it seems to respond to that hunger for community that is a natural response to the postmodern condition.
