Customer Reviews

Stage Fright part deux

Monona Rossol wrote an excellent book about theatre safety called "Stage Fright" a while back; this book is 100 times more complete. Her unique knowledge of the performing arts coupled with her real-world experiences make this a must-read. She even manages to take complex chemical situations and make it understandable for the lay man.

Theatre Safety Must-Have Book

Monna really provides a lot of information in a small amount of space. A must read for anyone working in the theatre - students, teachers, actors, techs, managers, administrators. Highly Recommended. "Alas, poor Yorick. He didn't read the safety manual!"

Unusual Resource

This is an unusual book and I haven't seen another like it. There are similar books geared more specifically to the theater, but this reference has information specific to film and TV. I bought a couple of copies for co-workers in the TV studio I manage. Good reference.

Packed with practical advice

Workers in the performing arts will find Monona Rossol's Health & Safety Guide for Film, TV & Theater to be a fine assessment of health problems and issues unique to the entertainment industries. From the hazards of theatrical paints and solvents to working with existing health and safety laws both on the job and in the classroom, Health & Safety Guide for Film, TV & Theater is packed with practical advice.
