AnnotationThis practical manual of adaptable tried and tested drama activities has been designed specifically for use in group situations with older people. It comprises 'warm-ups', story-making, drama based on texts, improvisation, and work with puppets and masks. The author stresses that before undertaking such activities, it is essential for leaders to have had some previous practical experience and appropriate training in running a creative group, as they need to be very aware of physical and mental difficulties associated with old age.
