Snowdon On Stage - Hardcover
Synopsis
The fascinating collection of photographs in Snowdon on Stage presents a period of startling change in theatre - from 1954 to the present - in addition to the many changes Snowdon himself initiated in the style of theatre photography.
Snowdon's photographs capture the reckless, stylish spirit of genius of some of the world's greatest stage actors - Nigel Hawthorne, Peter Ustinov, Fiona Shaw, Ralph Fiennes, Vanessa Redgrave, Helen Mirren, and of course, Laurence Olivier - as well as directors, designers, and writers such as Alan Bennett, Arthur Miller, Harold Pinter, and Alan Ayckbourn. Simon Callow's introduction gives and insider's account of the people and places of the heyday of British theatre, and Snowdon's part in it all.

From the Publisher
Snowdon (then Tony Armstrong Jones) started taking photographs professionally when he graduated from Cambridge in 1950. It was his uncle and mentor, the stage designer Oliver Messel, who encouraged him to take theater photographs. He used a small camera, available light, and often worked during performances. For some 40 years, Snowdon has been commissioned to photograph virtually everyone working in the theater; in so doing, he has brilliantly documented the changing life of the British stage. Among the many arresting images in this handsome volume are portraits of Ralph Richardson, Alec Guinness, John Gielgud, Vanessa Redgrave, and Noël Coward. There are portraits, too, of contemporary stars, including Jeremy Irons, Natasha Richardson, Emma Thompson, Jude Law, and Rupert Everett. Introducing the book, and bringing the photos into sharper focus, is ³A Personal View of the British Theatre 19541996² by noted actor Simon Callow.
