Rehearsal Photography - 'Quality Street', Northern Broadsides

Here’s some rehearsal photography I did at the New Vic Theatre for Northern Broadside during their production of ‘Quality Street’ in 2023.

As always with rehearsal photography my approach is to not interrupt the session, work in a way that captures process and the flavour of the performance.

I’ll typically send an hour or so in the rehearsal room and look for images that let the viewer inside the rehearsal process, are useful for marketing the show and act as a record of the production.

Rehearsal Photography - The Snow Queen - New Vic Theatre

This is some rehearsal photography from last week of 'The Snow Queen' at the New Vic Theatre in Staffordshire.

I'll be returning at the end of the month to photograph the dress rehearsal, and if the rehearsals are anything to go by it looks like it's going to be a corker!

Rehearsal Photography : Kitchen Sink : New Vic Theatre

In the week when the New Vic Theatre celebrates it's 30th anniversary it was great to go back and photograph rehearsals for their next play - Kitchen Sink.

From the website:

"An irresistibly funny and huge-hearted play about marriage, families, making ends meet – and dodgy plumbing. One of the biggest hits of 2012, it helped Tom Wells win both the Critics Circle and the George Devine Awards for Most Promising Playwright. 

In their down-at-heel Yorkshire seaside town, things aren’t going to plan for Martin and the family. Bits keep dropping off his milk float, son Billy’s obsessed with Dolly Parton, whilst daughter Sophie’s dreams of teaching ju-jitsu are fast disappearing down the plughole. And something’s up with Kath’s kitchen sink.

Amid the dreams, the dramas and the dirty dishes, something’s got to give. But will it be Kath or the kitchen sink? And, if they all carry on as they are, maybe Martin’s milk float won’t be the only thing falling apart."
