| Summary/Abstract |
Boal and his work are marvellous examples of the post-modern situation - its problems, its opportunities. Twice-exiled, Boal is now 'at home' wherever he finds himself to be. He makes a skeptical, comic, inquisitive and finally optimistic theatre involving spectators and performers in his search for community and integrity. This book needs to be used even more than read.
