"Jonathan Fox’s description of the parallel paths of scripted and non-scripted theatre is seminal."

Sherry Reiter, Adjunct Faculty, Hofstra University, NY in The Arts in Psychotherapy
"Fox has written a scholarly work for the serious student and theatre professional who would like to have a greater understanding of the nonscripted theatre and its evolution from preliterate times. … He does a masterful job in helping us to understand how Playback Theatre has evolved and how it is definitely different from other forms of theatre."  

Deborah Welsh,  Syracuse University
"The whole concept of nonscripted theatre is very helpful to me in relation to my teaching, so your book gives me a sense of groundedness in what it is I’m doing." 

John L. Johnson, Artistic director, DC Playback Theatre
"I am especially indebted to … the outline of a much needed "curriculum" for developing the sense of intellect which must be present in the actor’s being."
