Richard Pilbrow Book Signing at Super Saturday
Richard Pilbrow will be signing his book at the annual Stage Lighting Super Saturday all day lighting workshop.
Richard says, "I started writing this book in 2007. I wanted to tell the story of times of quite extraordinary change in our world of theatre . . . but also to evoke some great excitement, times of triumph and disaster . . . and of the many magnificent people within TP, past and present, who made it ALL happen." What a great story this book tells. Richard goes on to say, "After 54 years TP survives, indeed flourishes. From under the stage of Her Majesty's Theatre, it now operates around the globe. How did this happen? Only through the talent, passion and commitment of dozens of special people."
