STUDIO / GREEN ROOM
Theatre photography is an art form in itself. The incredible women and men who photograph our work here at Curve are as an important part of the production process as every other element, documenting both the rehearsal process and the finished work on stage. Over the years we have had the privilege of working with some of the world’s greatest theatre photographers and we are proud to present their work in our brand new exhibition, The Ladies who Lunch. These photographs capture the spirit and diversity of the work we have been making here at Curve over the past few years. Look around, look above, and remember your favourite productions and relive memories from the past. 20 19
