Shots from play The Sweethearts, a hilarious (and simultaneously sobering, believe it or not) examination of what happens when a washed up girl band rocks up in Afghanistan to perform for the troops.
The show, at the Finborough, runs to 17 October.

The White Feather
New musical The White Feather looks (very touchingly) at the plight of soldiers executed for cowardice during the First World War.
The show runs at the Union until 17 October inclusive.
Some of the production shots below.
Buona sera
Two days, two operas about as radically different as it’s possible to get.

Those clowns
Production photos from the AC Group’s wonderful revival of Side by Side by Sondheim at the Jack Studio Theatre.
The show runs to 26 September so if you want to see it you need to be fairly quick.
Regarding Henry
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. Quickly.
I was at the Lost Theatre over the weekend to shoot the 1448 London festival.
Billed as the world’s quickest theatre festival, the idea of 1448 is for writers, actors, designers and directors to devise and stage 14 brand new plays in the space of 48 hours.
Pushing everyone’s innovation to the max, the end results were brilliant.
The world changed
Production shots from the beautiful production of the first AIDS play, As Is, now playing at Trafalgar Studios.
Oestrogen
As end-of-year shows for an all-female cast go, they don’t come much more tense (think of an elastic band that’s just about to split and smack you in the face) than Federico García Lorca’s The House of Bernarda Alba.
Shots from the Court Theatre Training Company’s take on a tale of matriarchs, repression, men unseen and pride at the Courtyard Theatre. Shot through gauze, no less…
Light and shadow
Shots from the English National Opera’s incredibly beautiful new production of Tchaikovsky’s opera, The Queen of Spades.
The show opens on 6 June and runs for 9 performances.
