In Rehearsal At The National - Rehearsal Photographs 1976 - 2001

In the National Theatre's first 25 years on the South Bank nearly 500 productions have been seen in rehearsal through the eyes of some of the world's leading theatre photographers

More than 200 photographs in this book capture the essence of theatre-in-progress - actors and directors at work behind closed doors - and mark the development of some of the great names of our stage

'Nothing demonstrates the strength and depth of the British theatre more clearly than the sheer variety of the outstanding artists it continues to attract. Here, in this dazzling book, you will find the work of the exceptional photographers who have made a moving, informal, almost haphazard record of 25 years of trial and error' ~ David Hare
