The definitive text for today's and tomorrow's lighting designers, covering the complete history, theory and practice of lighting design.
With over four hundred illustrations and nearly sixty colour photographs, as well as interviews with many well-known professionals, Stage Lighting Design is a comprehensive, insightful and inspiring book that every designer and would-be designer should own.
It is arranged in four sections:
Design: the basic principles, illustrated with reference to specific productions
History: a brief survey of the historical development of stage lighting
The Life: interviews with 14 other lighting designers, plus notes on Pilbrow's own career
Mechanics: a comprehensive section dealing with all the technical data today's designer will need.
Richard Pilbrow (1933–2023) was a West End and Broadway lighting designer. He was also a theatre, film and television producer and a world-renowned theatre consultant. A pioneer of modern stage lighting in Britain, he was retained by Laurence Olivier to be theatre consultant to the National Theatre in London. His lighting has been seen in over three hundred productions in London, New York, Paris, Vienna and Moscow. He was awarded the 2008 Wally Russell Award for Lifetime Achievement in lighting design.
