Michael Sofroniou made this drawing in 1991. It shows a stage rehearsal for a play called “'Tis Pity She's a Whore.” That year he worked as an artist in residence with the Royal Shakespeare Company. The RSC was preparing the play for its opening at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. Sofroniou captured the moment right before the lights went up.
