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.

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!”

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.
