Book Reviews of The Rainbow of Desire: The Boal Method of Theatre and Therapy

Book Review: Inspiring ideas for a theatre of therapy.
Summary: 3 Stars

If you enjoy theatre theories, The Rainbow of Desire is a mentally stimulating read. If you believe that theatre has the power to change lives, it is an inspiration. As a young actor/director myself working in educational theatre, Boal's techniques are an exciting departure from standard improv "games," though not having read Boal's previous books made some of the activities described sound a bit confusing. Currently I am in the process of applying these ideas in the creation of an outreach piece, ask me in a few weeks how well it worked.
