Lighting and the Design Idea
"Essig's book is strong by emphasizing design for the play. The book provides a complete knowledge of lighting for the theatre, with strong areas in both design and technology for lighting.""This book deals a lot with the ideas in the play, and I think that is of fundamental importance in the classroom.""I adopted this text because Essig approaches lighting design as I do; she is serious about it as an art. Her approach is based on the needs of the work being lit and not on exploiting all the technical possibilities, and she articulates her views very clearly."--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
