Sound: A Reader in Theatre Practice Reviews

'Ross Brown approaches 'a reader' in a refreshing and engaging way - he provides a compelling narrative and argument, interspersing and amplifying them with extracts from aa range of key texts.' - Norie Neumark, Senses & Society 'There is no other book that considers equally and inseparably the theory, philosophy and practice of stage sound. A rigorously controlled piece of research of great originality and of terrific significance to the discipline.' - Chris Baugh, Professor of Performance and Technology, University of Leeds, UK 'A valuable assemblage of historical perspectives and current issues in Sound Design and perception...provocative in many ways.' - David Budries, Freelance Sound Designer; Professor of Sound Design, Yale University, USA
