Twice Nightly: The Theatre Podcast Maria Lovelady & Michael Alan-Bailey

Are you ready for your close up? In this star-studded-name-dropping episode Maria Lovelady & Michael Alan-Bailey delve into the world of theatre through the lens of theatrical photographer Simon Annand. Simon discusses his body of work, photographing actors half an hour before curtain up, which he has collated in his two published books ‘The Half’ and ‘Backstage’. We hear all of the fun and games that goes along with being in an actors space while they get into character and get the scoop on some of the biggest stars the world has ever seen. Simon discusses the strict ‘two minutes’ that led to having tea with Lady Oliver to his special appearance at Sir Ken Dodd’s 90th birthday party and which jazz icon blew a trumpet in Simon’s face?
