The Half

For 25 years actors have given Simon Annand unprecedented access to photograph them during the thirty minutes before curtain-up, known as 'the half'.

These rare images show the myriad ways actors focus for their performance and offer a dazzling gallery of our most celebrated actors, including Jude Law, Vanessa Redgrave, Anthony Hopkins, Ralph Fiennes and Jeremy Irons.

A lavish book accompanies the exhibition.
