Synopsis
Drama Games for Devising
Published by Nick Hern Books
They will particularly appeal to school, youth theatre and community groups where devising is a growing trend and a core element of the drama curriculum
Written with clear instructions on How to Play, notes on the Aim of the Game, and illuminating examples from professional productions, the games cover every aspect of the devising process and develop all the skills required - generating ideas, creating characters and scenarios, using stimuli, structuring the piece, and creating an ensemble

"A brilliant collection of starting points and structures that can be used again and again" ~ DramaResource.com
"A book which fairly fizzes with ideas" ~ The Stage
