  An illustrated collection of contemporary British set, costume and lighting designs at the end of the 20th century. Published originally to accompany a national exhiibition, this book represents 146 theatre productions, and the work of 254 practising stage and theatre designers - including 141 biograpies. Eight sections consider how designers explore the elements of time and space in performance: design process; narrative time; once upon a time; periods recreated; time transposed; allusions to time; movement in time and space; and colour and light in time and space. Brief commentaries illuminate a second inspection of the images, indicating more of the designer's intentions than the image alone.
