When in 2009 visionary Brazilian theatre director and dramatist Augusto Boal died aged 78, he left behind a legacy of political theatre that challenged audiences and actors in order to lead to change.

Recognising that his work is still of significant importance and continues to be practised and studied across the world, including within many drama and theatre exam specifications, Digital Theatre has worked with the Boal Institute's archive in Rio de Janeiro to bring together a mass of resources in The Boal Collection.
