With more than 300 photographs showcasing the work of over 130 designers -- each image accompanied by the artist's own notes -- this collection presents the best, most comprehensive overview of modern English theatrical style. These magnificent sketches, stage sets, and costumes come from drama, musicals, ballet, and opera. They include Alison Chitty's suspended, golden representation of the heavens for several Shakespeare plays; Patrick Robertson's and Rosemary Vercoe's modern-day conception of Rigoletto, and John Napier's elaborate, futuristic creation for Starlight Express.
