ABSTRACT
Most of the lighting techniques which we have been discussing assume that for each production we may choose and position instruments exactly where we require them — either by hanging a rig specifically designed for the production or by adapting a fixed rig with extensive additions and alterations. But this is only possible when there is to be a series of consecutive performances of the same production — whether the weekly run of standard touring, the month or so of a regional playhouse or the openended ‘now and forever’ which is the goal of Broadway and the West End.
