British Theatre Design - The Modern Age

John Goodwin's "British Theatre Design" is a coffee table book. It's full of gorgeous black & white and color photos showcasing some of the most extravagant set designs of England in the 1980s. Each chapter has a brief write-up on the genres (Plays, Operas, Musicals, etc.) by a different author. Unfortunately, however, the text only skims the surface of the subject matter. I would have much rather seen brief write-ups on individual designers and their influence. But still, it's inspiring just to see the photographs. Anyone who's in theatre needs to see this.
