Photographs from Simon Annand’s The Half:

When ‘The Half’ is called over the loudspeaker backstage, it is the start of a 35 minute countdown to facing the audience and there is no escape.

It is rare to see actors at this point in their work.

Over 25 years SIMON ANNAND has been given unprecedented access to photograph this in-between world that the audience never sees.

On exhibit at the Idea Generation Gallery in London starting February 24; corresponding video here (worth a view).
