Reviews

'An extremely good book that offers a lot to anyone seeking to create an exciting new unit for their drama curriculum or add more focus to rehearsals' * Drama Research * 'The first comprehensive manual for training actors in the Viewpoints system... this isn't just a book of exercises; there is a clearly defined, suggested pattern of training to introduce the principles of Viewpoints and gradually build up the knowledge and skills of the methods it uses... very thorough and clear' * British Theatre Guide *
