The Reverend George M. Maxwell, Jr, Vicar of The Cathedral of St. Philip, recommends this book, saying: "This book talks about ethics in a way that allows you to imagine how you might live your life differently.  Wells is an English priest who taught at Duke and is now the Vicar of St. Martin-in-the-Fields in central London. He uses the analogy of a five-act theatrical play to describe Christian community.  But, along the way, you will learn some tricks for bringing others out without losing yourself."

In Improvisation, Samuel Wells defines improvisation in the theater as "a practice through which actors seek to develop trust in themselves and one another in order that they may conduct unscripted dramas without fear." Sounds a lot like life, doesn't it? Building trust, overcoming fear, conducting relationships, and making choices--all without a script.
