Big Show, Tiny Budget: An idea book for every stage Designer,

"An idea book for directors and designers, Big Show, Tiny Budget shows you how to take large-scale plays and musicals like Guys and Dolls and whittle them down to fit your size. You will: find out what a design key is and how to use it to your production's best advantage; rediscover the basics of design: how the placement of just two chairs on an empty stage can quickly inform your audience, and how color and composition work in tandem to reflect the world of the play; learn how to read a script for clues that can make the most tired warhorse fresh and unique; and see how these concepts are applied in a portfolio of over fifty plays, musicals, and even grand opera produced by theater companies large and small across North America, Europe, and the Near East, for shows ranging; from Our Town to Madama Butterfly."--BOOK JACKET.Martin, Sean is the author of 'Big Show, Tiny Budget: An idea book for every stage Designer,', published 2008 under ISBN 9781575255699 and ISBN 1575255693.
