Taming of the Shrew rehearsal

Yesterday I photographed one of the Cambridge American Stage Tour’s rehearsals of the Taming of the Shrew. They were doing a complete run through, and the acting looked really good. However, you realise how important proper stage lighting is when you try and photograph indoors without it. With that little disclaimer, here is a sneak preview from the first act.
