More from Backstage Pass

As it is Festival season again here in Adelaide I had a look back at a range of photographs I took in the lead up to the Backstage Pass exhibition which opened in February 2013. I have selected ten photographs that have not been displayed before and they were taken in four different theatres at various times of the year.

Here are a couple of examples, but all ten are presented with some descriptive notes on the More from Backstage Pass page.
