3.0 out of 5 stars Uninspired, January 13, 2003

By	Jeff Adelberg (Belmont, MA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Morgan's book does a fair job at sharing his thoughts on theater lighting design and technology, but it is really not much fun to read. It reads like a textbook, yet is not thorough enough to be used as one. Beginners: this will not hook you. Others: you don't need this. Note that this is by a British writer, and some information may not be accurate in the US or elsewhere.

One last whine--Books like this need production photos!!! This is loaded with black and white photos of lekos and lightboards, and a handful of line drawings to demonstrate certain ideas, but not a single production photograph is to be found, with the exception of the rather poorly-lit (!) snapshot on the cover.
