A manual of effecting social change through the realm of theatre by the noted Brazilian activist and theatre practitioner. An interactive dramaturgy growing out of his Theatre of the Oppressed, an international theatre movement giving artistic and social voice to the otherwise voiceless. "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 on Boal
