REVIEWS

"Impressive, on-the-job reference tool ... Its user friendly, well-illustrated and tabulated formats gives it the potential to be a strong source of practical information for arts students of all levels ★★★★★ ~ Teaching Drama

"This has to be one of the most comprehensive books on the subject of stage lighting that I have ever seen. It's written for post 16 students who are studying stage lighting as well as entrants to higher education specialist courses, but it is also invaluable to the amateur theatre market ... This is an absolute must for every amateur theatre group that lights their own productions" ~ Amdram

"I am sure it will become standard reading in theatre schools" ~ Michael Goldberg, Sales & Marketing Director, Phillips Entertainment

"Well presented both in content and technical quality of the material" ~ Sightline: Journal of Association of British Theatre Technicians
