Adolphe Appia swept away the foundations of traditional theatre and set the agenda for the development of theatrical practice this century. Widely acknowledged as the most important innovator in the use of stage lighting, Appia's imagination ranged far beyond that, conceiving fundamental reforms of scenic design, directing, and the use of theatrical space. In Adolphe Appia: Texts on Theatre , Richard Beacham brings together for the first time selections from all his major works. The publication of these writings, many of which have long been unavailable in English, represents a significant addition to our understanding of the development of theatrical art.
