Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Wilson (prop making, Guildhall Sch. of Music & Drama, U.K.) takes an in-depth look at all aspects of his craft, including modeling, creating plaster molds, casting and laminating, upholstery, painting, finishing, and the use of wood, steel, and polystyrene products. In each section, he discusses the most appropriate tools, techniques, and materials, as well as the always-important safety tips. While numerous stagecraft books include chapters on props, the singular focus of this work makes it particularly inviting to the prop maker. However, much of the book is not appropriate for the novice, and North American readers will find parts difficult to follow because of the British terminology, although context and a glossary of terms and acronyms help. Still, Wilson effectively uses numerous black-and-white drawings and photos to illustrate the tools and techniques as he discusses them, and he offers some exciting ideas for prop makers everywhere. Despite its drawbacks for a U.S. audience, this is highly recommended for advanced theater collections.-Laura A. Ewald, Murray State Univ., KY Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
