Description

Theatre Design involves everything seen on stage: not only scenery but costumes, wigs, makeup, properties, lighting, sound, even the shape and material of the stage itself. Designers’ Shakespeare presents and analyses the work of a half-dozen leading practitioners of this specialist art. By focusing specifically on their Shakespearean work, it also offers a fresh, exciting perspective on some of the best-known drama of all time. Shakespeare’s plays offer an unusual range of opportunities to designers. As they were written for a theatre which gave no opportunity for scenic support or embellishment, designers are freed from any compulsion to imitate original practices. This has resulted in the extraordinarily diverse range of works presented in this volume, which considers among others the work of Josef Svoboda, Karl-Ernst Herrmann, Ming Cho Lee, Alison Chitty, Robert Wilson, Societas Raffaello Sanzio, Filter Theatre, Catherine Zuber, John Bury , Christopher Morley, Ralph Koltai and Sean Kenny. Designers’ Shakespeare joins Actors’ Shakespeare and Directors’ Shakespeare as essential reading for lovers of Shakespeare from theatre-goers and students to directors and theatre designers. Review "Highly recommended. Included are essays on Josef Svoboda, Karl-Ernst Herrmann (an excellent study by Klaus van den Berg), Ming Cho Lee, Alison Chitty, and Catherine Zuber. Maria Shevtsova’s study of director-designer Robert Wilson’s spatial organization for four Shakespeare productions is outstanding for its fine content and powerful, clear, evocative writing." - F. H. Londré, University of Missouri-Kansas City in CHOICE About the Author John Russell Brown directed plays in England, the USA and around the world.
