Reviews

""Doshi’s manifesto is a valuable read for all theatre practitioners whose purpose deals with the aesthetics of stage design. Beyond visual designers, this includes directors, choreographers, sound designers, and composers. It is especially valuable for lighting designers who know lighting is art and want to find words to explain it or to understand their own aesthetic. Anyone who reads this book is in for an intellectual stroll through a garden of stage aesthetics and has positioned themself towards good lighting for the stage."" Ethan Steimel, Theatrical Designer, Producer, and Podcaster (Artisitic Finance)
