Inhaltsangabe

‘A flexible, varied book filled with engaging drama activities... for primary teachers, I would very much recommend 'Drop of a Hat' for its content, ease of use, and engaging activities, as well as for demonstrating how you can use drama to great effect in many areas of the curriculum... Secondary drama teachers will find the activities useful and many of the stimulus materials would be relevant at KS3 and 4.’
— Drama and Theatre Magazine (January 2020)
