Hamlet and the Baker's Son: My Life in Theatre and Politics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780415229890)

Hamlet and the Baker's Son is the autobiography of Augusto Boal, inventor of the internationally renowned Forum Theatre system, and 'Theatre of the Oppressed' and author of Games for Actors and Non-Actors. From his early days in Brazil's political theatre movement to his recent experiments with theatre as a democratic political process, Boal has devised a unique way of using the stage to empower the disempowered, and taken his methods everywhere from the favelas of Rio to the rehearsal studios of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
