The first title in ETPrsquo;s Application and Techniques Series; Jackie Stainesrsquo; Lighting Techniques for Theatre-in-the-Round will prove to be a unique reference source for those working on lighting design for theatre-in-the-round for the first time. It is the first title to be published specifically on the subject; it also provides some anecdotes and ideas for more challenging shows; and attempts to blow away some of the myths surrounding lighting in this format.ldquo;Theatre-in-the-round can be challenging; but also extremely rewarding;rdquo; says the author. ldquo;It is a very natural staging format and offers plenty of opportunity for good fun lighting as well as pure naturalism.rdquo;The book includes lighting plans and production photography and woven into its content is the story of the authorrsquo;s seven-year lsquo;runrsquo; as technician and lighting designer at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough; the lsquo;homersquo; venue for the first production of the majority of Sir Alan Ayckbournrsquo;s plays. Its appeal will cover a broad spectrum; from those studying theatre and theatre lighting to the professionals working in lighting design and production; and also to the general reader with a lively interest in the various theatre arts.
