Product Description
An illustrated collection of contemporary British set, costume and lighting designs, including the design of performance spaces. Published to accompany a national exhibition, this book represents 165 theatre productions, the work of 244 practising stage and theatre designers, and 12 contributing theatre buildings. Seven sections show work in the variety of theatre formats found in Britain at the end of the 20th century: theatre in the round; purpose-built adaptable spaces and studio theatres; thrust and open stages; proscenium theatres; touring theatre; converted spaces; and events and non-theatre performances. Brief commentaries by designers focus in particular on their response to the characteristics of performance spaces.
