Designing for the theatre - Francis Reid

This book considers the contribution of costume, settings, props and lighting to stage productions and explains the purposes and processes involved in their design. It covers all aspects of the subject, from theatre building and visual design to new design technologies and critical evaluation.
Written following the author's years at London's Central School of Art and Design where he is in charge of theatre design, this book is aimed at aspiring and practising theatre designers.
The Stage Lighting Handbook, "The Staging Handbook" and "Theatre Administration" are also by Francis Reid."
