Running through all their work however is a collaborative devising process that champions a playful experimentation with form.

Co-authored by artistic director James Yarker and Dr Mark Crossley, the book is places their work within wider context of contemporary theatre and is the perfect companion to anyone looking to make their own original theatre or performance work. For theatre students, fans and theatre-makers, Devising Theatre with Stan’s Cafe is an inspiring account and practical guide to contemporary performance practice.
