Charles Ricketts’ Stage Designs
- Synopsis
- Slide set. Between 1906 and his death in 1931, Charles Ricketts was the foremost practising designer of his generation in England working with Shaw, Granville Barker, Yeats and Sybil Thorndike. The slides illustrate Ricketts’ theory that the stage should always be a work of kinetic art, embodying a disciplined and intense beauty. Many of the illustrations have not been reproduced before. Includes material from Macbeth (1879 & 1883), The Merchant of Venice (1879), Much Ado About Nothing (1882), Henry VIII (1885, 1892 & 1910).
