Peter Dibdin Photography

Lucy is the Interim Chief Executive of the National Theatre of Scotland and I had the pleasure of photographing her a couple of weeks ago. Here’s a couple of my favourite images from the shoot.

National Theatre of Scotland. Home. Dundee

Ten years ago last month marks a decade since the National Theatre of Scotland nailed their colours to the mast and declared themselves open. Rather than choose one production in one location, they created HOME – a series of plays taking place in one weekend across Scotland. I was lucky enough to be invited on board, to capture five of their nine events in one weekend.

Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour

I was in Glasgow the other week working with the National theatre of Scotland on press and marketing shots for Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour during rehearsal. This is Vicky Featherstone’s first return to the NTS after taking up her post at the Royal Court, London. I could see that this raucous new play, written by Lee Hall, was a great show, now the world premiere is at Edinburgh Festival, already a sell out, with this incredibly talented group of actors receiving excellent reviews.

Before Christmas I was working with the fantastic National Theatre of Scotland once again – this time on their production of A Christmas Carol. It was an amazing production, performed in a purpose-built space.

Not only was it very “intimate” for the audience, but the lighting was, well the critics said “atmospheric”, I say dark. Visually stunning, although very tricky to shoot – but we finally got there. If it ever comes round again, I can only recommend trying to get tickets if you can.
