Announcing a new release at Stage Whispers Books at a special discounted price of $45.

Stephen Curtis, one of Australia’s most distinguished stage designers, has released a new book Staging Ideas: set and costume design for theatre.  The book is a resource for young designers, drama teachers, professionals and theatre-lovers who would like to know how performance design actually works. Written in an engaging and accessible style and beautifully illustrated with many visual examples of the rarely-seen earliest phases of the designers’ process, Staging Ideas draws on Stephen’s own three decades of experience as well as case studies from nearly thirty other of Australia’s leading set and costume designers.
