Portrait on front cover of Livving Magazine

Published on Wed Aug 24, 2022 by

A while back I was commissioned by Livv Housing to take some portraits for their magazine of Melanie Lewis, the CEO of Shakespeare North Playhouse.

The Shakespeare North Playhouse is a theatre, arts and cultural hub in Prescot. When we visited the building was close to completion and it was fascinating getting a preview, behind the scenes of the amazing space. And of course lovely to meet and have a chat with Melanie.

The 470-seater theatre Is not just hosting Shakespeare related events, the programme looks really diverse and I am off to see a showcase of 3 short plays written by young women from the region in September, which I am really looking forward to.

So it was great to see the Livving Magazine, Spring 2022 edition feature one of my photographs. And below are a few of other portraits from the shoot.
