[Wooster's] timely book Theatre in Education in Britain [is] an insightful narrative and analysis of the conditions in which TIE was created ... Wooster's attempt to trace this development of theory within the TIE movement, its internal differences and outside influences, is, for me, the strength of the book ... There is much to recommend.
