Seller notes: Hardcover. 4to. St, Martin's Press, New York. 1989. 208 pgs. Illustrated throughout. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Commentaries on contemporary design for plays, opera, musicals and dance are complemented by discussions of British theater design of the past and future and the work of many painters. John Goodwin's "British Theatre Design" is a coffee table book. It's full of gorgeous black & white and color photos showcasing some of the most extravagant set designs of England in the 1980s. Each chapter has a brief write-up on the genres (Plays, Operas, Musicals, etc. ) by a different author. Unfortunately, however, the text only skims the surface of the subject matter. I would have much rather seen brief write-ups on individual designers and their influence. But still, it's inspiring just to see the photographs. Anyone who's in theatre needs to see this. E-123; 10.5 X 10.1 X 1.1 inches; 208 pages.
