Stage Director Who Gave a Voice to Audiences Is Dead at 78: “Augusto Boal, a Brazilian director and drama theorist who created interactive, politically expressive theater forms under the rubric of the Theater of the Oppressed, died last Saturday in Rio de Janeiro. He was 78.” (New York Times obituary)

My wife brought Boal’s pedagogical methods into the mental health world; and my son has taken a workshop with him as well.
