Opis

Despite influential contemporary British playwright and director Howard Barker's active involvement in the design of set, costume, lighting and sound, no in-depth published study on this aspect of his work exists to date. This monograph therefore offers the first comprehensive and detailed analysis of Barker’s scenographic practice.
