Description

The 100 Stories describe the development of European theatre technology, design and architecture, from the Greek and Roman theatres of antiquity to the present day. Extensively illustrated, the ten time periods and ten themes allow the reader to explore different topics over time, or all aspects of technical theatre in a particular era.

Written by specialist teachers and professional experts, the 100 Stories are designed to act as entry points to the diverse history of technical theatre, each one placing its topic in a wider context, and so opening up a rich but often hidden field of study. Students of technical theatre, performance design, theatre architecture and of the performing arts more generally will find this book invaluable.
