For over 30 years, Geoff Gillham was a leading figure in Theatre in Education. He was the author of some 40 plays--all performed but never published.
His untimely death from cancer in 2001 robbed Theatre in Education of its foremost playwright and practitioner. This invaluable collection focuses on young people's search for their humanness through their involvement with the plays, whether as actors or audience.
