Summary: Richard G. Jones has designed the lights for productions on Broadway, in the West End, and in arenas all over the world. Now he squanders his talents on us, designing the lights for our UK production of The Complete World of Sports (abridged). Featuring the various challenges of lighting John Doyle's production of Sweeney Todd on Broadway, Strictly Come Dancing (Dancing With The Stars) in arenas, and The Railway Children with an actual 88-ton steam engine; the value of being a jack-of-all-trades in the theatre; the difference between working in the US and the UK; wisdom and gratitude from Michael Cerveris and Patti LuPone; charm from Stephen Sondheim; and how variety is both the spice and the meat of surviving in the theatre.
