The article clearly describes the interaction of the creative team that creates a play and states very clearly the relationships among the director, scene designer, lighting designer, computer operator, and projection designer. That kind of collaboration is one of the things that makes theatre so special. The authors described the design process in one play but similar design processes take place in all properly produced plays. The members of the creative design team inspire one another and their close collaboration results in the "picture" the audience sees on stage. I congratulate the authors on the way that they clearly described their creative process. Let's see more of it.
