Readers can learn the practice of InterPlay -- Interplay teaches the language and ethic of play in its deepest and most powerful sense. It is based on a series of easy-to-learn, incremental forms that lead participants to movement and stories, silence and song, ease and amusement. These forms lead us to the wisdom of the individual and community body. We come to know what has been locked inside us. A full-length audio CD is included with the book.

Stealing Sweets and Punching People was produced at the Latchmere Theatre, London, in October 2003.
December 1914. As families across Europe gather to celebrate Christmas, a generation of young men find themselves far away from their loved ones in the trenches of the Western Front. There they face a world seemingly devoid of any peace or goodwill. But on Christmas Eve 1914, as the men of the Warwickshire Regiment shelter in their trenches, something astonishing happens. Across no-man's land they hear music. The German soldiers are singing Christmas carols; the same carols their families are listening to, hundreds of miles away in Birmingham, Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon. Leaving their trenches, carrying only their courage and their humanity, they go to meet their enemies; not to fight, but talk, to exchange gifts, to celebrate Christmas. And the next day, together, they play an unforgettable game of football.
