Reviews

""Considering designers from the infamous (Jo Mielziner, Max Gorelik) to Jean Cocteau (and his contributions to ""design as action""), these sixteen essays by theater designers and practitioners reveal both successful and flawed collaborations among designers, directors, and playwrights. Others have treated this subject . . . but White makes a valuable addition in bringing together theory, scholarship, and professional practice. Highly recommended."" -- ""Choice"" (10/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)
