Synopsis

When we think of the theatre, we primarily think of the play and the actors. But there is so much more that goes into a theatrical production - the staging, the lighting, the props, the scenery, the costumes, and the sound effects. All these important components make up 'technical theatre'.
'Technical Theatre' introduces students to this broad range of technical elements and to the specific technical roles within a theatre company. The book also includes a host of practical exercises and provides non-specialist students with a basic understanding of the technical side of theatre.
