101 great drama games for use in any classroom or workshop setting. Part of the Nick Hern Books Drama Games series.
A dip-in, flick-through, quick-fire resource book, packed with 101 lively drama games suitable for players of all ages, with many appropriate for children from age 6 upwards. Whilst aimed primarily at school, youth theatre and community groups, they are equally fun - and instructional - for adults to play in workshop or rehearsal settings.
'An extraordinarily helpful compendium... a valuable help to directors, teachers and workshop leaders' Max Stafford-Clark, from his Foreword
'Small but perfectly formed, this is an essential purchase for classroom teachers and workshop leaders alike' - Total Theatre Magazine
'A truly amazing little book. Don't let its size fool you; it's packed full of good things. Whether you work with adults, tinies or those in between, buy this book and banish those awful moments when you know you know a game to use but just can't think of it. It'll be in here, or one very like it' - ReviewsGate.com
