Today I photographed the “Boring Prince Bertie of Belgium and the Attempted Wedding of 1850” by Marcus Martin. It ended up being two sessions, first a set of promotional shots for the show, then I photographed the dress rehearsal. This was the first time I saw the McCrumb lecture hall at Corpus Christi, that is hidden away behind the Eagle Pub.
A small group of us went and scouted for location while the rest of the cast and crew was getting ready. We ended up in Corpus Christi College, inside some of the nice older student rooms that had a view over the inner court yard. Most of the shots, however, were done outside, but it was fun to see what it looked like inside.
When the rest of the group arrived, we did a group shot and then photos with smaller groups and some individual shots. Theatre people are great, you can just give them a theme and they will run with it.
The play is great comedy, and it will be premiering at the ADC Theatre shortly.
Edit: An update, they got a five star review from the Tab.
