Abstract
"Classroom drama is now a widespread component of primary and secondary school curricula, both in its own right and as a support for other subjects. Whilst there are many exponents and practitioners, there is a lack of an overall analysis of theory, advocating practice and evaluation." "This analysis is now available in this objective and penetrating book by Dr. Gavin Bolton, Reader Emeritus, University of Durham, one of the foremost authorities on drama education for children and young people."
