I live in Scarborough, a fishing port and holiday town on the Yorkshire coast, where the cultural jewel of the town is a theatre housed in a former art-deco

cinema. It’s named after Stephen Joseph, whose name is synonymous with ‘theatre in the round’ – a stage form where the audience completely

surrounds the stage and actors can get very close indeed! Both the town and the theatre are home to Sir Alan Ayckbourn, a renowned playwright who

premiers his plays at the ‘SJT’ before taking them to London’s west end. The pictures here are the just a few of the tens of thousands of images I shot

during a two year residency, when I documented the day to day life of the theatre on both sides of the curtain.
