Summary:

"This book is about planning and designing the interior shapes of our theatre buildings. The usual dictionary definition of 'shape' refers to 'external or outward form, configuration or contour.' The shape I refer to is strictly that of the theatre building interior. It is a shape that grows out of, and is responsive to, the vital workings of spoken drama"-- From the Introduction
