A recent production of "Romeo and Juliet" at the Globe Theatre in London has foregrounded the themes of mental health and a sick society.

Salverson, Julie – Research in Drama Education, 2023
A meditation on drama practice from an artist in Canada. My university students are preoccupied with damage and trauma.
