The process of setting a play begins when the scene designer's sketches are submitted to the producer, involves the planning, manufacture, use and maintenance of the scenary and properties, and ends when the play closes and the sets go to the warehouse. It is a process, each step of which is governed by a complex set of varying and limiting forces. 'Scenery for the Theatre' analyzes the process and furnishes the data necesary for the solution of the problems involved, in the light of the best practice wherever and whenever plays are or have been produced. It contains the tested results of research conducted by the authors in the technique of production. There are chapters on 'Organization for Production', 'Planning the Production', 'Planning the Scenery', 'Scene Construction', 'Materials', 'Scene Painting', 'Stage Machinery', 'Properties' and so forth. There are more than five hundred illustrations among which are many unique technical drawings and photographs" (De la solapa) ER -
