Book Reviews of Games for Actors and Non-Actors 2nd Edition
Book Review: Essential manual for anyone in theatre
Summary: 5 Stars
Roughly divided into three sections, Boal's Games for Actors and Non-Actors is by now a bible in the trade and is far more readable than the dense (but rewarding) Theatre of the Oppressed. The first part outlines, with relevant examples, the methods known as Image, Invisible and Forum Theatre and gives very practical advice to potential practitioners. In the second section, Boal takes us through a wealth of games and exercises which are devoted to integrating groups, exploring the senses, politicising the actor, releasing expression. They are invaluable and are stimulating (I have used them with diverse groups - trainers, actors, the deaf community, people with Down Syndrome, the elderly, teachers, theatre directors). The third section looks at problems arising from and issues associated with Forum theatre, and leads the way towards his subsequent work in Legislative Theatre. Adrian Jackson provides a wonderfully lucid translation which captures the energy and dynamism of Boal's voice.
