Title (Dublin Core)
Patent application for folding screens
Description (Dublin Core)

This document is an application for stage screens. It’s part of a collection regarding the life and career of Edward Gordan Craig. In this document, one reads that Craig is applying for stage screens in order to help with the special effects that he’s trying to accomplish on stage. As the stage manager, this is not something that we necessarily see nowadays with modern stage management, but it’s important nonetheless. Craig is advocating for his production as the stage manager and as the designer. Craig’s career seemed to run the gambit of acting, directing, stage managing, and designing.
