The Times Educational Supplemement 'This is a comprehensive guide to the subject that has now been adopted by many universities as a set text...In an exceedingly user-friendly style the reader is guided to develop their subject knowledge, plan and manage the drama classroom, as well as focussing on monitoring and assessment...a one-stop resource not just for the aspiring drama teacher but all students in training.'
