I always forget to take photos of what I’m working on. But here is a wee throw back to some process photos I took on the lead up to @citizenstheatre Christmas production of Beauty and The Beast. Designed by the amazing @thecanning . The citz have many lovely photos and videos of the final set all together, definitely worth checking out to see more of what it looked like in the end. Had an absolute blast on this one with fab folk.
