Edit
  • Trivia
    She was a pioneer of the theater-in-the-round concept of design, with which she first experimented in 1947. It dispenses with a curtain and with backdrops, uses a minimum of scenery, moves the stage closer to the audience, and sits the audience on three sides of the stage. This was the style of staging used for the original stage production of "Man of La Mancha".
