Letters to George
This is the Key book I have looked into and is based around the play The recruiting Officer (George Farquhar's) he explains the hard decisions he has to take to put on the production the struggles of putting on more than one play at the same time. he also gives key ideas of rehearsal ideas (Which can be found under rehearsal section) I have also found myself while reading getting involved trying out new ways of devising. On read this I really wanted to read Taking Stock. Both book have good key ways in which characterization can be developed through workshops and rehearsal ideas.

The main one I have used is the cards with the status which doing a devising show really helped because it can change the way a scene is portrayed to the audience by changing the statuses.
