Abstract
In this paper we present a teaching experiment which is particularly m otivating for students following an Operational Research course. The e xperiment consists of the presentation of a theatre play by the studen ts in which they integrate a real world problem, its modelisation, the use of associated software and sensitivity analysis. This experiment can easily be reproduced by any teacher in O.R. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scie nce B.V.
