'A clearly arranged and informative handbook'
-- Theater Forschung, Dr. Nathalie Fratini'Prendergast and Saxton's latest book is a long-awaited response to the training needs of those who take their first steps as facilitators of interactive and participatory drama with non-professional actors. '
-- Hristina Mouratidou, The Journal for Drama in Education'[T]he strength of Applied Drama as a handbook for applied drama facilitation lies in its candid treatment of vital processes and issues such as embodied learning, ethics, reflection, communication and improvisation. By exploring the key concepts in the field of applied drama and illustrating them through practical drama structures, the work becomes a balanced blend of both theory and practice. Consequently, teachers and students at various levels of learning and young people’s theatre facilitators will find the book enormously useful.'
