Presented in a textbook style this book explains and teaches the technical methodologies and techniques practiced in the professional theatre by the stage management team, lighting and sound designer or technician. It's well written and presented, the information is readily accessible and there are plenty of illustrations and b+w photographs to accompany the text. Scott Palmer has included tips and tasks on design ideas throughout the book that are thought provoking and inspiring, making it an essential source for both theatre students and professionals alike.
This is my favourite technical book and I now take it everywhere with me, I thoroughly recommend it. ~ It's handy to have all the facts and figures that you need to refer back to on a regular basis as a designer/technician complete in one book!
