Over a two-year period I walked the stages, greenrooms, corridors and catwalks throughout the Adelaide Festival Centre and the 100-year-old Her Majesty’s Theatre in South Australia to capture the rarely seen backstage areas for a photographic exhibition to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Centre. This provided a rare insight into the nostalgia, humour and mechanics of these iconic performance spaces. This companion publication is 24 pages and was designed to be rotated from horizontal to vertical throughout to maintain a reasonable scale for the vertical images and introduce greater interactivity.
