Theatre Games: A New Approach to Drama Training

by Clive Barker

The games described in this invaluable handbook are all designed to enable anyone involved in acting to develop their technique without inhibition or artificiality. As a professional actor, director and drama teacher, Clive Barker has developed his "theatre games" system over the years and proved its effectiveness for teaches, students and actors alike.

"Clive Barker's book is more than just a guidebook of improvisational games for it is, rather a comprehensive exploration of acting techniques" New York Theatre Review

"Theatre Games is a massive contribution to the art of theatre…A bulging portfolio of credo, craft, advice and instruction, strapped tight with sound definition… It is dazzlingly astute and a thrilling read - quite unlike a text-book, rather a long, fascinating chat into the small hours" The Stage
