I read this a bit out of order (as I had to read it for a class), jumping around chapters and such, but overall I found it nice and informative. I did think that some things that were explicitly written out and discussed at length were common sense, but I understand that what's common sense to me is not necessarily clear to others. So, while I didn't necessarily receive everything this book was putting down, I do still think it is worth a read if you are interested in theatrical design and know literally nothing about it. A good place to start.

Es un libro que estaría bien para alumnos de instituto. Toda la información del libro es muy básica y se me queda corto (hasta el punto que te enseñan cómo hacer una entrevista de trabajo)

Pensaba que iba a ser especializado y poner ejemplos sobre casos reales, pero solo se centra en la parte teórica. Además las fotos del libro están en blanco y negro y me parece un poco extraño teniendo en cuenta que está hablando de vestuario, escenografía e iluminación.

Tiene información útil, pero es algo MUY básico.
