Pictures From Light Night

I didn't have a camera and was hiding behind a Charon mask is Dark Arches anyway, but I'm very glad some other people (people I don't know!) took photos and posted them online. I've collected the images here - if I've not attributed them properly I apologise and will correct if you get in touch with me (e.r.okell at leeds.ac.uk). If anyone would like to send me their photos, please use the same address.

Congratulations to cast members for capturing the public's imagination:
Rachel Meadows - Persephone
Rachel Elderkin - Orpheus and Eurydice
Bob Buxton - Horus
Eleanor OKell - Charon

Orpheus, searching the Underworld.
Does he seek Persephone to ask her to bring Eurydice back to life or Eurydice herself?

Horus, preparing to weigh your soul against the feather of truth and determine whether it is righteous and you can enter the afterlife to enjoy "cakes, ale and crumpet" forevermore.
