Drawing on the work of key practitioners and packed with games, exercises and techniques, The Active Text shows how physical theater and devised theater practices can be applied to scripted plays. This inspirational guide leads readers through an active, physical approach to text that can challenge assumptions about even the most familiar of plays, and that will revitalize work in the rehearsal room, workshop, or classroom.
