The innovative concepts are described fully in this insightful theatre book that has become the bible for wannabe improvisers. The “Harold” is an improv form involving six or seven players. It consists of many things: scenes, songs, games, and monologues - the most important of which is the two-scene beginning. A strong opening develops the point of view for “The Group Mind” to follow, often with three different story lines. It tells how to create a nonlinear entertainment that remembers everything and wastes nothing - the key to successful improvising.
