A compelling exploration of the career of one of theater’s most outstanding theatrical designers.

This book is a detailed and lavishly illustrated look at the work and career of the renowned stage and costume designer Susan Benson, whose work has been seen on some of the world’s most influential stages but is most identified with the Stratford Festival. Featured throughout the book are gorgeous full-page photographs from both the live stage and the production process. Behind the scenes commentary reveals the challenges and exhilaration of mounting a large stage production while Benson’s working design sketches reveal the artistic process and the remarkable range of her talent.
