Games for Actors and Non-Actors is the classic and bestselling book by the founder of Theatre of the Oppressed, Augusto Boal.
It sets out the principles and practice of Boal-s revolutionary method, showing how theatre can be used to transform and liberate everyone - actors and non-actors alike! This new third English edition includes recently uncovered interviews and essays from the 1970s, some of which featured in the earliest Portuguese edition of this book, and a new essay by the theatre director Sergio de Carvalho, which looks at Boal-s work in the context of Brazilian theatre and politics over the past fifty years.
This is a vital handbook for theatre makers and activists of all kinds who want to deepen their understanding of the theory and practice of Boal-s Theatre of the Oppressed. It is also an excellent introduction for those new to the system.
