The Stage 100: Number 1 – This year The Stage 100 is topped by a playwright whose work has reached beyond theatre to be referenced in court rooms and by government. An advocate for theatre and a writing heavyweight, this year's number one is James Graham 👇

My essential Theatre books which I use all the time :

2: Theatre of The Oppressed - Augusto Boal

This, with Boal’s Games For Actors and Non Actors, has been my guide to practical, democratic theatre making. This year, I’ve used Boal as inspiration in my playwriting classes and workshops

I wrote about Dramatic Action and Event for the Bruntwood Prize, alongside similar resources from a bunch of fantastic writers. Was v chuffed to be asked to write this as it gave me an excuse to talk about the mathematically perfect script that is Toy Story
