Design for the Stage: First Steps - Softcover

This is the first textbook of its kind to focus on the designer’s art rather than on the technical aspects of stage design.

Payne has emphasized conceptual prob­lems and research, and has drawn exam­ples from the writings of E. Gordon Craig, Sean Kenny, Bertolt Brecht, and John Hatch.

Darwin Reid Payne has practiced and taught stage design for seventeen years. He is at present Associate Professor of Theatre and Designer for the University Theatre, Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
