A Sense of Wonder: An Introduction to Drama in Education

Ted O'Regan (19312003) was one of Ireland's foremost drama teachers. He taught drama in all kinds of settings, from schools to youth groups, from special needs students to student priests. His legacy in his home town of Waterford is huge, with many established arts organisations and structures tracing to him their early development. A Sense of Wonder is another of Ted O'Regan's legacies. It incorporates much of what he learned over 50 years of teaching drama to young people.

Based on a series of classes given at St Brigid's Family and Resource Centre in Waterford, the book is aimed at drama teachers, care workers, youth arts workers and others who want to learn how drama can be used to facilitate better self-awareness and self-expression by students.
