The show is curated by the RSC with 40 selected photographs from the Foto8 Summershow 2012 in London.

Foto8 Summershow is a unique open exhibition of photography, where photographers from all walks of life, professional and amateurs alike, are invited to share their best work.

Among the RSC selection, images of modern China and Russia offer resonance and context for the work being presented on stage as part of A World Elsewhere.

The exhibition will be on display in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre’s Swan Room from Saturday November 10 to Sunday March 3 2013.

Admission is free.
