The Other Side: Granite and Geysers

BLOG PRINT STORE LINK

It’s back to Iceland for a second set of prints from one of the world’s more extraordinary landscapes (click the link above if you’d like to browse the store).

Going through these has got me itching for another visit…

From the archives: Glass houses

To ring in the new year I thought I’d draw from my archive for something big and different.

And so to director Phelim McDermott and designer Julian Crouch — founders of Improbable Theatre — for their ENO / Metropolitan Opera production of Philip Glass’s opera Satyagraha, which looks at the early life of Mahatma Gandhi.

These pictures are from the 2013 revival.

Put a little love in your heart

Theatre company Antic Disposition continue their habit of adopting venerable monuments as (extremely) lavish stage sets.  This time, they’ve invaded the Middle Temple Hall for their take on Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.

Starring the inimitable David Burt as Scrooge, the last performance is on 30 December and — since it’s deservedly selling fast — you’ll need to book a ticket swiftly.

Yes we can

It’s back from Iceland to the somewhat warmer climes of the Finborough for some production shots from Obamaology.

The play chronicles the mix of fluffy idealism and brutally efficient activism that got Barrack Obama elected.  It’s clever, it’s funny, it’s poignant, and you need to book your tickets quickly because the last performance is on Tuesday.

Ice and Steam

BLOG PRINT STORE LINK

The first of two sets of shots from a circumnavigation of Iceland (this sounds glamorous but anyone who’s been will know there’s actually no other way to do it since there’s only one road).

There’s not much that can be said for a country this wild that can’t better be expressed in pictures.  But it’s no surprise that it’s become Hollywood’s go-to place for alien worlds.

If you’d like to browse prints from the collection, you can do so here.  Twitter users might also like to know that I’ve now set up an account specifically for my art and travel work at @ScottsOtherSide.
