World Scenography 1990-2005

World Scenography 1990-2005 is the second volume in a series of large-format, lavishly illustrated books documenting for posterity a collection of significant and influential theatrical set, costume, and lighting designs.

This volume covers 1990-2005 and presents designs for 409 productions from 55 countries representing the work of hundreds of designers as researched by a group of more than 100 dedicated volunteers from around the globe.

Like all performance-based art, stage design is ephemeral. If it is not recorded, it disappears. And if the designs are not contextualized through scholarship, their meanings will become obscure. World Scenography provides an outstanding visual and contextual record of the art of designing for the stage.

The World Scenography series is an official project of OISTAT, the International Organization of Scenographers, Theatre Architects and Technicians.

Please note: the first volume in the series, World Scenography 1975-1990, is now out of print.

Customers outside the UK, Ireland and continental Europe should purchase copies from www.worldscenography.org.
