A stage production is never the brainchild of a single mind. It is the result of a team of artists and technicians working together towards a shared vision. The vital role played by British theatre designers - arguably the best in the world - in creating that vision is revealed here through a kaleidoscope of breathtaking images and nine authoritative essays. BRITISH THEATRE DESIGN focuses on contemporary design for plays, operas, musicals and dance with hundreds of compelling photographs and drawings. These are accompanied by the designer's own thoughts on their influences and ideas. Offer-ing a fascinating insight into the huge variety of work produced today BRITISH THEATRE DESIGN is an invaluable source book.
