Today’s blog is not a written record of my time in Minneapolis; it is a photographic one.
My brother Ian came to spend the weekend as part of the production and took a wonderful series of photographs, documenting a performance from beginning to end.
With a few of my own pictures thrown in, I present to you the first few weeks of ‘To Begin With’:
The first rehearsal, at Oxford Golf Club, UK. Dennis creates the set, as Jeffrey looks on
Redefining cold
The Apartment Block: home for a month
The first morning: being measured for the wig
The set being built
First glimpse of Charles Dickens
Photo Shoot
Cards and flowers from great friends
And the day of a performance:
To the dressing room
Checking props
Contemplating the next two hours
The audience gathers
In performance
Taking my bows
Meeting the audience
There are only six more opportunities to see ‘To Begin With’ on this run.
