Scenography Expanded

[An] excellent and comprehensive collection [that's] suitable as introduction for undergraduates and for developing ideas, histories and approaches for researchers. * Paul Geary, University of Birmingham, UK * The collection of essays make for an engaging and accessible examination of the myriad possibilities of the way scenography can be framed. These topics will certainly act as a catalyst for discussions on the ways in which my students will contextualise their own practice. * Andy Hurst, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK * An excellent, contemporary introduction to scenography. * Kit Lane, University of Derby, UK *
