Reviews

The rich body of interview material, together with the analysis of that material and the development of an original and substantial theoretical model of stage management practice represent a significant achievement. * Nick Hunt, Rose Bruford College, UK * Smalley does something rather special in this book: he presents an argument that squarely positions stage management as a critical practice that has its own register, academic value and creativity. There is no doubt that this is now THE book on critical stage management studies. Stage managers as communication designers – I’m sold! * Rachel Hann, Northumbria University, UK *

Stage managers as communication designers – I’m sold! * Rachel Hann, Northumbria University, UK * I have thoroughly enjoyed reading [the book]. It poses some really interesting and valid hypotheses to encourage a healthier understanding of our role as stage managers, and a more inclusive attitude to our potential … A breath of fresh air. -- Gail Pallin, CallQ, UK
