Review :
"The real strength of this book is the focus on developing critical and creative thinking by making the process of script analysis enjoyable. The authors make analysis understandable. Students will be able to apply the skills they learn to other aspects of life and study." -- Robin D Stone, Associate Professor of Theatre, Roger Williams University "This book will be of primary help for student actors who want to understand how to analyze their roles effectively in the context of the entire play -- no small feat! The definition and terminology used in Chapter 4 for the Root Action Statements will assist theatre artists who want to synthesize and summarise the meaning and power of a play." -- Dr Harry Parker Chair, Department of Theatre, Texas Christian University "...this book illustrates an important approach to helping students more deeply master some key goals of undergraduate education: close reading, critical thinking, effective writing, productive group work and "mental management". Readers will find it interesting to see how these themes and tools are applied throughout the book." -- Craig E Nelson Emeritus Professor, Indiana University at Bloomington
