Trade ReviewAimed at actors, directors, and teachers, the seven short chapters of this book offer practical tools alongside a frank assessment of the difficulties common to the process, culled from Robinson’s thirty years of devising experience … It provides plenty of exercises that will ease novice practitioners into the process of ensemble creation … Most importantly, it sparks a flame–both artistic and intellectual–that might compel its readers to further engagement with the practice and study of devising. * Karen Jean Martinson, Theatre Topics, Vol. 26 (1) *
