born Jan. 16, 1872, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, Eng.
died July 29, 1966, Vence, France
British actor, stage designer, and drama theorist.
The son of
Ellen Terry, he acted with
Henry Irving's company (1889–97), then turned to designing stage sets, decor, and costumes. He moved to Florence (1906), where he opened the School for the Art of the Theatre (1913). His international journal
The Mask (1908–29) made his theatrical ideas widely known. His books
On the Art of the Theatre (1911),
Towards a New Theatre (1913), and
Scene (1923) outlined innovations in
stage design based on the use of portable screens and changing patterns of light; his theories influenced the antinaturalist trends of the modern theatre.
