The Morse Code: Decoding the Career of Iconic Lighting Designer Peter Morse explores key developments and evolving techniques, processes, and technology within contemporary theatrical lighting design through the career and impact of US lighting designer Peter Morse.

Peter Morse's career as a lighting designer spans over 50 years. He has worked with most of entertainment's biggest artists, including Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, Madonna, Prince, and many more. This book documents his firsthand perspective of how the entertainment industry has changed, and it features his unique perspective on how the evolution of the lighting industry resulted in an evolution of his design and practice. More than a simple biography, this book explores the history of contemporary lighting design through Peter's eyes and experience, tracing the evolution of technology and trends, and how one designer's creativity impacted an industry. Each chapter explores the work of a decade and is illustrated with personal interest stories from his collaborations with iconic artists and production photography.

The Morse Code is a valuable resource for new and experienced lighting designers, students of lighting design, and those interested in the history of technical theatre.
