About this title

Synopsis

As a theatre text the book has been ranked with the works of Stanislavski and Artaud, and it has inspired the work of actors, directors, and writers in theatre, television, and film. In addition to its impact on the theatre, the book has had wide influence in the fields of education, mental health, psychology, and even ecology, as games bring the players closer to their individual nature, to their fellow players, and to the world they share.
