Product Description

In this edition, Christopher Innes shows how Craig's stage work and theoretical writings were crucial to the development of modern theatre. The book contains documentation and re-evaulates Craig's significance as an artist, actor, director and writer. Craig is placed in historical context, and his productions are reconstituted from unpublished prompt-books, sketches, journals and correspondence. Most of the designs and photographs, and many of Craig's writing cited, are not available elsewhere in print.

Clear and fascinating
Really clear writing style, includes plenty of pictures. includes contents, introduction, list of illustrations, acknowledgments, notes, select bibliography and an index.
clearly covers Craig's personality as well as much of his work. proving him to be one of the quint-essential modernists.
covers craig's Uber-marionette, Moscow Hamlet, Masques, screens; as well as how he rose from an actor to set designer.
Christopher Innes obviously is very passionate about Craig's ideas, and the effect on post-modernism. check out Innes' essay online about Craig and Lepage, it's a really good follow on from the book.
if you are writing a dissertation, or specialising in modernism or on Craig this book is a very valuable resource.
