- Summary:
- The three practitioners introduced in this handbook are all concerned with the social function of theatre, though it can be said that Brook's interest therein formed only part of his extensive journey into the whole range of theatre experience, past and present, Western and Eastern. Brecht saw theatre as a tool for exploring man as a social animal, for demonstrating how we are both socially manipulated into certain behaviours and able, by recognising them, to change for the better. Boal takes the Brechtian concept of theatre as a force to alter the human condition into logical, though ultimately non-theatrical, routes that are closer to therapy and personal self-discovery.
