Rehearsal Photography : The Mountaintop - New Vic Theatre
It was across to the New Vic Theatre gain this week to photograph rehearsals for 'The Mountaintop' which opens in a week.
From the New Vic website:
" Intimate yet epic, winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Play and a huge Broadway hit, The Mountaintop is a heartbreaking, powerful and surprisingly humorous re-imagining of events in the hours before the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King.
April 3 1968. The Lorraine Motel, Memphis, Tennessee. Tomorrow, it will be the scene of a nation’s tragedy. But tonight, it’s just another stopover motel room for Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
With a storm raging outside, a young maid arrives to deliver his cup of coffee. As they talk, King
is forced to confront his past, his ideals and his hopes for the future. But who is this mysterious young woman? And what is the true purpose of her visit? "
Rehearsal Photography : Talent - New Vic Theatre
I popped across to The New Vic Theatre in Staffordshire to photograph rehearsals for Victoria Wood's 'Talent'.
After a fun warm up to the sounds of the 70s it was straight into rehearsals of one of the beautiful songs from the show. I'm really looking forward to photographing the Dress Rehearsal of the show next week.
