Description

First published in 1988, Behind the scenes Handbook is among the most widely used stagecraft textbooks in the USA, with about 10,000 copies sold yearly.

This handy reference book brings together under one cover a fantastic variety of information useful to designers, technicians and students who work at the back of the scenes in theatre, film and tv. Its sturdy leatherette binding will rise up to years of constant use.

The third edition updates this popular reference book with new terminology and materials, and adds dozens of new illustrations of grip hardware, film lighting equipment and painting tools. Behind the scenes Handbook includes chapters on Tools, Hardware, Materials, Electrics, Shop Math, Architecture and Theatre. There are hundreds of illustrations, tables and charts which cover the whole lot from the stock sizes and specs of wood screws, to protected working loads for several kinds of rope, to illustrations of twenty-two types of standard lamp bases.
