Johnstone’s improv manual doubles as a manifesto for unleashing human imagination. It’s not about performance — it’s about permission. He teaches us to unlearn control, to let characters misbehave, and to trust that stories already know where they want to go. For educators, artists, and anarchists of all kinds.
