Theatre Design involves everything seen on stage: not only scenery but costumes; wigs; makeup; properties; lighting; sound; even the shape and material of the stage itself. Designersrsquo; Shakespeare presents and analyses the work of a half-dozen leading practitioners of this specialist art. By focusing specifically on their Shakespearean work; it also offers a fresh; exciting perspective on some of the best-known drama of all time. Shakespearersquo;s plays offer an unusual range of opportunities to designers. As they were written for a theatre which gave no opportunity for scenic support or embellishment; designers are freed from any compulsion to imitate original practices. This has resulted in the extraordinarily diverse range of works presented in this volume; which considers among others the work of Josef Svoboda; Karl-Ernst Herrmann; Ming Cho Lee; Alison Chitty; Robert Wilson; Societas Raffaello Sanzio; Filter Theatre; Catherine Zuber; John Bury ; Christopher Morley; Ralph Koltai and Sean Kenny.Designersrsquo; Shakespeare joins Actorsrsquo; Shakespeare and Directorsrsquo; Shakespeare as essential reading for lovers of Shakespeare from theatre-goers and students to directors and theatre designers.
