"...the first major study of Appia in twenty years...it is a clear-eyed examination of Appia's many innovations." -- Theatre Journal
...the first major study of Appia in twenty years...it is a clear-eyed examination of Appias many innovations.
–Theatre Journal
Excellent and well written, this study is well focused, and will reward anyone interested in the development of the modern theatre.
–Alan Andrews of Essays in Theatre History --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Challenging the foundations of traditional theatre, Adolphe Appia set new foundations for the development of theatrical practice in this century. Appia is widely acknowledged as the most important innovator in the use of stage lighting, scenic design, directing and the use of theatrical space. In Adolphe Appia, Richard Beacham brings together for the first time selections from all his major works. The publication of these writings, many of which have long been unavailable in English, represents a significant addition to our understanding of the development of the theatrical arts.
