A John Walmsely Exhibition

John Walmsley has always photographed people doing what they do, everyday life.  In 1973, he lived and worked alongside the Salisbury Playhouse company photographing how they put on a play and what it was like to be an actor in those days.  The exhibition is taken from this body of work and shows rehearsals, sourcing props, learning lines in their ‘Digs’ and days off.  In the 70s, each town had it’s own rep theatre and the actors and audiences got to know each other because they went to the same pubs after performances.  Sadly, the rise of TV and government cuts proved too much and rep died out.
