About Edward Gordon Craig
Edward Henry Gordon Craig (born Edward Godwin; 16 January 1872 – 29 July 1966), was an English modernist theatre practitioner; Part of the Terry family and son of the actress Ellen Terry, he worked as an actor in his youth before becoming a director and scenic designer, and he developed an influential body of theoretical writings. The Gordon Craig Theatre, built in Stevenage, England (the town of his birth), was named in his honour in 1975. After settling in Italy, Craig created a school of theatrical design with support from Lord Howard de Walden, the Arena Goldoni in Florence. The Art Record noted in 1901 that Oliver Bath was "a gentleman who is believed to subsist on an exclusive diet of the famous Bath Oliver Biscuit". Colour and light also became central to Craig's stage conceptualizations.
