The text positions the study of drama in a social and cultural context and explains the development of drama in the Caribbean. The student-centred approach guides students through the creative process of improvisation and play production. Excerpts from Caribbean plays are utilized to demonstrate how writers craft their work and there are detailed studies of two one-act plays. Copious production notes are provided for the teacher/director.
