David Hornbrook's articles in NTQ4 and 5 offered a challenging perspective to the history of drama in education, a critique of present practice and practitioners, and some positive proposals for the future place of the subject in the curriculum. These have provoked widespread interest, and we are now publishing a first selection of comments from fellow drama in education workers, and offering a welcome to further contributions in subsequent issues. These initial responses are from David Morton, adviser to the Leeds City Council's Department of Education; Jon Nixon, a research fellow in the Department of Education at the University of Sheffield; and Tony Graham. Head of Drama at Haverstock School, in the Inner London Education Authority's area.
