Light Fantastic: The Art and Design of Stage Lighting

A virtuoso in the field, Max Keller has set new standards of technical and artistic excellence. In this book he divulges his extensive knowledge of every aspect of stage lighting, from natural phenomena and the history of light in the theatre, to Goethe’s and Runge’s theories of colour, to the fundamentals of optics and projection. This revised edition of Light Fantastic includes new images from Keller’s most recent productions as well as completely updated information on optics, lamps, lanterns, projection and lighting consoles. In more than 600 stunning photographs and illustrations, the power of Keller’s expertise shines through, making this a visually exciting and highly informative work for those involved in theatre technology.
