Mr. Scott, with brief descriptions and clear drawings, depicts the features of typical costumes, sets and properties. Depending on the period to be represented, the costumer-cum-designer should follow the three basic primitive social rank, occupation and sex appeal. In an easy-to-follow format, the types of costumes for men, women and children are simply categorized, including their hairstyles, footwear and appropriate colour schemes.The Stage Properties, clearly drawn and captioned, certain specific costumes, armour and weapons of nobles and soldiers, as well as musical instruments, details of jewelry, furniture and utensils used for the people of those times.The Stage Settings concentrate on the characteristic features which are clearly represented in the architecture of the period, and when incorporated into the design, with carefully selected lighting effects and appropriate costume and prop designs, can reproduce the correct atmosphere for the chosen period.A selection of plays, suitable for the various theatre groups and/or drama class productions is also given, which adds to the usefulness of this indispensable reference book.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
