Brian Sutton-Smith (July 15, 1924 - March 7, 2015) was a play theorist who explored the cultural significance of play in human life. He believed that any meaningful definition of play must apply to both adults and children, asserting that play prepares individuals for overcoming Darwinian survival challenges. His interdisciplinary approach included research in play history, cross-cultural studies on play, psychology, education, and folklore. Sutton-Smith argued that the interpretation of play must encompass all its forms, including children's play, gambling, sports, festivals, fantasy, and nonsense.
