National Theatre Backstage Guides - Bogserien

"Well judged, never presuming knowledge about the discipline being examined – but also not shying away from the more nuanced elements of the practice." – Drama & Theatre

A series of pocket-sized introductory guides to key aspects of theatre-making from acting and directing to set, costume, props and make-up.

The National Theatre Backstage Guides offer accessible, practical and positive introductions to key areas of theatre, useful both for complete novices and as a consolidatory tool for those who already have some theatrical experience. They equip the reader with essential information they require, acting as a springboard to further development.

Each Backstage Guide is informed by examples from National Theatre productions and draw on in-house expertise.
