'This is an excellent resource book for anyone involved in participatory drama'

* Guild of Drama Adjudicators Newsletter *

'It is friendly, accessible, well structured and full of good advice - much of it plain common sense... Reading it is like being in a room buzzing with relaxed and informed conversation about basic principles, and good ruses for realising both general and specific aims'

* Theatre Research International *

'House of Games is a book I will return to and learn much from'
