About this title

Review:

Certainly this handbook can reasonably claim to fill a gap between the many existing works on improvisation and on the performing of texts. -- The School Librarian 20010701 In Devising, Lambden documents, in minute detail, a range of examples from the work of four notable devising ensembles with relevant actor, rehearsal and technical advice. The love of the work is palpable... -- Youth Drama Ireland 20011201 Devised theatre is a form of theatre whose time has come, and here is a text that offers an excellent study of the genre. -- Drama Contact 20011126 Useful in all aspects of devising a production from conception to performance. -- Mr T J Hawes, Peterborough Regional College 20000606
