Recenzii

'We cannot create anything worth seeing or hearing if, like a tame cat, we must first ask others what they think is the best thing to do, and the safest.' ߝ Edward Gordon Craig, 1924
'one of the most influential books of the past century... a great introduction to the notion of 'visual and physical theatre'... Essential reading!' - Total Theatre

Notă biografică

Edward Gordon Craig (1872-1966) was the son of an actor and an architect, and his celebrated career was a synthesis of the two professions. Aside from a prolific career in theatrical writing and direction, he is best known for his pioneering work in set design, not least the feted 1912 production of Hamlet, with Konstantin Stanislavski’s Moscow Arts Theatre.
