Theatre company Antic Disposition have returned to Temple Church with a new — and rather beautiful — production of Shakespeare’s Henry V, fresh from their tour in France. Some of the production shots below.
The show runs in the legal cathedral to Saturday 5 September.
Incidentally, the photos may give the impression that the play has a Wagnerian running time. I can assure you that it doesn’t and zips along. Because of the venue we shoot the production shots slightly differently from the way they’d be done in a theatre, so I get the rare chance to photograph the show first in daylight and again after dark.
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.
