We are always honoured to have IIlyria Outdoor Theatre perform at Montgomery Castle with a varied range of plays each year. For me, the photographer, it's always such a pleasure to have the opportunity to capture such amazing performances along with the challenges that come with ensuring the moment and atmosphere are recorded and portrayed.
I look to reflect the professionalism from the cast and beauty of the setting regardless of the conditions bestowed upon us by mother nature and the changing light - be it intense sun, shadow or floodlights. Its great to see that this is also observed through Nicola's ‘backstage’ vlogs, alongside her humorous observations through her journey with the IIlyria Outdoor Theatre group.
This video is a great peek into the life of a touring theatre group. If you want to skip to the part on Montgomery, fast forward to 6.25 and have a look at Nicola's amazement on everything that is 'Montgomery'!"
