Description

Edward Gordon Craig's ideas regarding set and lighting have had an enormous impact on the development of the theatre we know today.

In this new and updated edition of his well-known study of Edward Gordon Craig, Professor Christopher Innes shows how Craig's stage work and theoretical writings were crucial to the development of modern theatre.

This book contains extensive documentation and re-evaluates his significance as an artist, actor, director and writer.

Craig is placed in historical context, and his productions are reconstituted from unpublished prompt-books, sketches, journals and correspondence.

Most of the designs and photographs, and many of Craig's writings cited, are not available elsewhere in print.

Readers will gain insight into a key period of theatrical history, the life of one of its most fascinating individuals, the nature of stage performance, and into revolutionary ideas that are still challenging today.
