Review :
Praise for the first edition: 'An extremely valuable work, which combines detailed analysis with a helpful contextual overview.' - Professor Dominic Shellard, University of Sheffield, UK 'There simply are no competing texts: Chris Baugh's unique arrangement of scenographic buttons is immediately a key work in the field - invaluable and long overdue.' - Richard Downing, University of Wales, Aberystwyth 'I strongly recommend this new edition. The title has been considerably updated throughout and the addition of a new chapter sows the seeds for new directions in scenographic enquiry. Students and researchers of performance design will find this a valuable resource on the history and future of scenography.' - Studies in Theatre and Performance
