The view of the RSC stage from our seats in the upper circle. Long black coats are suspended slightly above the stage and are lit in a cold light from above. There are ghostly projections on the backdrop where there are multiple windows of varying sizes. Guitar amps are placed on the black stage. The photo was taken before all the audience had taken their seats so you can see multiple rows of red chairs lit by the warm yellow house lights, in stark contrast to the bleakness of the set.
My dad & I went to the RSC today to watch #HamletHailtotheThief
Absolutely extraordinary production. Deeply moving & frighteningly relevant. The @radiohead.wastehq.social adapted by @thomyorke.wastehq.social beautifully accompanied & heightened the action without ever feeling like an add-on.
