Critics Review
‘Invaluable… clear and practical… a must for your bookshelf’
* National Drama - Drama magazine *‘A thorough working knowledge of theatre-making with young people, along with a clear understanding of the limitations of working towards an examination, the potential difficulties of managing the work with young people and the pitfalls that may be encountered by any teacher devising for an audience. [Bennathan’s] exercises and frameworks should go a long way towards guiding the less experienced teacher through these potential traps and will undoubtedly provide fresh inspiration for those with more experience’
* Drama Resource *‘A godsend… sound, informed advice, pitched at the right level without being condescending or patronising… I’m so glad this book is now on my shelf. I bet you’ll love it too’
