Description

Looking Into the Abyss examines the ways in which the visual theatre affects our understanding of the dramatic event. Arnold Aronson opens with an overview of scenographic concepts, including postmodern design and the use of new media in the theatre, and continues with analyses of the work of specific designers (including Richard Foreman and David Rockwell) and scenographic responses to playwrights like Chekhov and Tony Kushner.
