The Dark Theatres Project

The Dark Theatres Project captututes a moment in time an History.  


On 4th June 2020, while the most of the world was still in Lockdown, Photographer and theatremaker, Nina Dunn, requested permission to photograph London’s iconic theatres – which had been closed since 16th March that year – in their state of sudden desertion.

Her lens delivers a unique insight into these deserted spaces and has been captured in a beautiful hardback book alongside stories from cast and crew who were in the theatres when they closed and features a foreword written by Bonnie Langford.

All products purchased through The Dark Theatres Project fundraiser help contribute to four theatrical charities that supported workers and buildings until their return and continue to support them through the continued challenges presented to them.

Our nomiated charities are: BackUp, The Theatrical Guild, The Theatres Trust, Acting for Others. Choose from archive prints, custom printed ‘Safety Curtain’ masks or the full hardback coffee table book.
