Pravda

This week the main show at the ADC Theatre is Pravda, written by Howard Brenton and David Hare, directed by Hazel Lawrence (read her interview here). I was there for parts of their tech rehearsal. The play looked good despite some parts of the stage not being finished yet. Some of the photos below are in character, and some are out of character photos that I liked because they showed the great atmosphere on and around the stage.

I also have a few photos from the dress rehearsal that I might add later. But why wait for me to do that when you can get your tickets to Pravda from the ADC webpage and see it for yourself!
