Production shots from brand new (but in the works for years) musical Princess Caraboo at the Finborough Theatre, which charts the true tale of a girl from Devon who hoodwinked the 1820s world into believing she was a princess from a land called Caraboo.

Once more unto the breach

Henry V returns
Publicity shots of the wonderful Freddie Stewart and Floriane Andersen, shot for the forthcoming tour of Antic Disposition’s World-War-I-based take on Shakespeare’s Henry V.

Dress Rehearsal

Stay Awake, Jake
Production shots from the wonderful one-man musical, Stay Awake, Jake, which follows star Jamie Muscato as he drives through the night to the North.
The show runs at the Vault Festival until Sunday 7 February.
Opera Noir
Rehearsal photos usually look very bright, very white, and very floaty. But sometimes the venue just doesn’t want to play ball and you end up with something rather pleasantly different.
So, publicity shots and tremendously film-noir style rehearsal photos for the forthcoming opera play, Dress Rehearsal, which opens at the OSO Arts Centre in Barnes next month.
