The Dramatic Imagination - Reflections and Speculations on the Art of the Theatre, Reissue
The Dramatic Imagination is one of the few enduring works written about set design. Robert Edmond Jones's innovations in set design and lighting brought new ideas to the stage, but it is greater understanding of design - its role at the heart of theatre - that has continued to inspire theatre students. The volume includes 'A New Kind of Drama,' 'To a Young Stage Designer' and six other of Jones's 'reflections.'
