Influential contemporary British playwright and director Howard Barker has been deeply involved in the scenography of the Wrestling Schools productions since 1998. Despite his active participation in designing set, costume, lighting, and sound, no comprehensive published study on this aspect of his work has yet emerged. This monograph, therefore, presents the first comprehensive and detailed exploration of Barker's scenographic practice.

Combining aesthetic analysis of play texts and production records with original interview materials, this book offers the first full-length foray into Barker's scenography. It features extracts from conversations with designers working with Barker, as well as with Barker himself. In addition, it presents the first printed versions of select set and costume designs by Barker.

With its first fully detailed analysis of Barker's scenographic work, this book will be an essential resource for scholars and postgraduate students of Barker Studies, contemporary British and European drama, theatre, and scenography.
