An excellent theoretical perspective of drama education
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is a fantastic insight into a drama classroom. It is easy to read and full of practical examples of theoretical concepts. I wouldn't really recommend it for a teacher looking for classroom activities, but for teachers trying to make sense of their practice and broaden their view it is a fantastic read!
