About the Author
Richard Pilbrow Well known throughout the UK, America, Europe and even in the Far East, Pilbrow first made his mark at Olivier s National Theatre lighting shows such as the first Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. He revolutionised stage lighting in Britain, designing the new system for the new National and setting up Theatre Projects, the first independent lighting design company in the UK. He has been consultant for theatres and concert halls in over 25 countries. He is still a practising designer and has two shows on Broadway as this goes to press.

Format:Paperback
Richard Pilbrow has long been established as the master of stage lighting practice and his first edition of this book gave many aspiring lighting designers their first real knowledge of the subject. This latest book should be high on anyone who takes lighting seriously's adjenda. The spec pages have been brought up to date, some of the earlier examples replaced (a shame, actually) and the new section adds in potted histories of some of the wrolds best known lighting designers. If you need to know anything about lighting - this is the book to go for. Expensive, but well worth the space on the book shelf.

apparantly this is the bible of stage lighting in books and quite hard to get hold of bought it as a gift for my nephew before he changed his course to sound from lighting buts it tells you everything you need to know about stage lighting and the t.v film and stage pro's still use it as a ref book so if you get a copy dont part with it as its the bible and ultra rare book to have.
