Book Reviews of Playing Boal: Theatre, Therapy, Activism

Book Review: Don't got TOO excited
Summary: 3 Stars

Not the book I had hoped it woud be. Though I do not have my copy infront of me from what I can remember I wasn't too impressed. After delving a little deeper into the book it became clear that I wasn't going to find what I was looking for (clear examples of what Boal does) in my research. This seemed to be one of those books where someone wanted to be published so they "edited" a bunch of articles written by others so everybody gets a book under their belt and everyone wine. Not so fast future book buyer. You don't win. Stick to the books pened by Boal himself. He is actually a wonderfull author, very clear, and you will probibly find answers to all your questions. Start with Boal first. This isn't a bad book! This is just not a great place to start if you are just discovering Boal.
