Synopsis

• A unique series of photographs that go behind the scenes in London theatres, capturing world renowned actors before they go on stage
• Includes a foreword by Cate Blanchett
• "Simon Annand is one of the most amazing photographers I have had the pleasure of working with. He is an individualist with an eye for the unusual." - Dame Judi Dench, actor

British photographer Simon Annand has been shooting candid photographs backstage at West End theatres in London for 35 years. In these meditative portraits, often shot in the intimate space of the dressing room, he captures the focus and tension of world-class actors right before they go on the stage. Actors such as Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Anthony Hopkins, Jake Gyllenhaal and Judi Dench are seen in these moments of vulnerability, which every actor experiences no matter how long they have been working. Time to Act, with an introduction by Cate Blanchett, contains a hand-picked selection of Simon Annand's remarkable and unique portraits.


Reviews:

"...a five-star collection of photographs in Time to Act... capturing the famous faces in the most intimate of spaces the dressing room the book gives a tantalising reminder of the world we are missing while so many venues remain closed." -- Jane Dowdeswell, Hello! magazine

"'His sensitivity to atmosphere is, quite simply, astonishing,' says Cate Blanchett, while the man himself tells Eve Watling: 'It is the crossover of the two personas which fascinates me as a photographer'". -- Eve Watling, Independent

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

<p><em>TIME TO ACT</em> is a book of backstage photographs celebrating theatre as live performance, and provides a unique opportunity to see leading actors in the intimacy of their dressing rooms. <br />It records actors' preparations for their appearance in the thirty-five minutes before they go onstage. These moments, rarely witnessed by anyone outside the profession, offer a fascinating glimpse into the theatre world behind the scenes.</p><p><em>Simon Annand has a unique sense of the whole process, the confluence between backstage and onstage. He has found a way of capturing the careful marshalling of energy backstage and its subsequent explosion into performance once in the lights. Any actor will tell you that Annand's photographs tell the truth about the life of the theatre. I'm very grateful for what he's done, because it's good to be able to point to his pictures and say 'You want to know what it's like to be an actor? That's what it's like.'</em> <br />SIMON CALLOW</p><br/>
