This week, we shared news of our plans to temporarily transform the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse into a recording studio.

At this time when many of our indoor spaces are closed, you can attend online events at home and be transported to our Playhouse from anywhere in the world. This got us thinking about those of you who might not have seen a physical performance in our indoor space before and consequently inspired us to share some beautiful photography with you.

A dip into our archive and glimpse at this stunning images by photographer Pete Le May has us all missing live performance. At this time when we can’t be together physically, we hope these pictures remind you of that Playhouse magic that we will all hopefully be reliving again soon.
