Games for Actors and Non-Actors is the classic and bestselling book by the founder of Theatre of the Oppressed, Augusto Boal.

It sets out the principles and practice of Boalâs revolutionary method, showing how theatre can be used to transform and liberate everyone â" actors and non-actors alike! This new third English edition includes recently uncovered interviews and essays from the 1970s, some of which featured in the earliest Portuguese edition of this book, and a new essay by the theatre director Sergio de Carvalho, which looks at Boalâs work in the context of Brazilian theatre and politics over the past fifty years.

This is a vital handbook for theatre makers and activists of all kinds who want to deepen their understanding of the theory and practice of Boalâs Theatre of the Oppressed. It is also an excellent introduction for those new to the system.

Industry Reviews

'This is an inspiring and powerful book, a lucid account that will be of substantial use to people already using Theatre of the Oppressed. It should also act as an excellent introduction for those new to the system.' -Artscene

'This is a useful handbook for those who want to explore Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed and, as such, is greatly to be welcomed. Boal's work deserves and demands emulation.' -Theatre Research International

'You have achieved what Brecht only dreamt of and wrote about: making a useful theatre that is entertaining, fun and instructive. It is a different kind of theatre - a kind of social therapy. It focuses the mind, relaxes the spirit and gives people a new handle on their situations.' -Richard Schechner
