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.
