This review is from: Something Like a Drug: An Unauthorized Oral History of Theatresports (Paperback)
The book, written by two professors at the University of Calgary, give an oral history of Keith Johnstone's Theatresports. It is presented as a series of comments from the actual participants of theatresports. While covering such topics as the history of the movement, its spread worldwide, women in theatresports, favorite games, and the future of the art, it gives both affirming and dissenting opionions about this particular form of improvision. While some revere Johnstone as a guru, others mention his sometimes inflexible attitudes. Some follow his lead while others choose their own path. This book is an interesting read, in that it gives you the opinions of those who are actually involved. It is not, however, a book about acting technique. For those people interested in improvisation, it gives you an insight in the "behind the scenes" world of improv.
