We were running a bit behind on the tech for the final dress of 39 Steps, but that gave me some extra time to dial in my light setting and enjoy just being part of a show with a wacky cast. Seeing the work that went into getting just the right pitch for the ‘dead body’ from the balcony, or romantic times with the marionette sheep, keep us laughing till we got to thirty minutes, places and time for curtain. Here are some of the casual shots as we rehearsed. (click for larger view)
-
The crew is involved in many of the scenes
-
Rehearsing bows. I normally don't shoot this stuff, but things were running behind, so it was fun to snap.
-
Plenty of refs for Hitchcock buffs... see it?
-
Hannay hanging of the back of the train... see, it's stage MAGIC!
-
You know all the stories about stage romance...
-
Director Sean Daniels, gets to be an audience member to test the body pitch from the balcony.
-
Lots of sheep antics!
