Reviews

'This book is a small gem...It is at once an engagement with a major strain in political theatre, a document of a vital practice, a meditation on the difference that engaged art can make.' - Randy Martin, New York University, USA 'Anyone who wants to understand the usefulness of Boal's work and its possibilities, especially when removed from Boal's own projects and from its implementation in a first world context, needs to pay attention to Sanjoy Ganguly and Jana Sanskriti.' - Franc Chamberlain, UCC Cork, Ireland '...makes an important link in the urgency of theater as catalyst for social change, fusing TO with Ganguly's unique skills as a communicator and effective leader.' - Brian Brophy, Director of Theatre Arts - California Institute of Technology, USA
