CAST in Ely Cathedral

The Cambridge American Stage Tour had their second preview yesterday, this time in the grand Ely Cathedral. Here is a glimpse from their afternoon, including a guided tour up the Octagon.

hjorthmedh-taming-of-the-shrew-in-ely-1 — The magnificent Ely Cathedral as seen from a distance. The dark sky made for a more dramatic photo, but I was soaking wet from my bike ride to the train station earlier.

hjorthmedh-taming-of-the-shrew-in-ely-2 — The techies. Tom Johnson, Johannes Ruckstuhl and Josie Wastell

hjorthmedh-taming-of-the-shrew-in-ely-3 — Jossie Evans, Josie Wastell. Here the window caught my attention and I also liked how the light lit up their silhouettes.
