Photo Flash: In Rehearsals for PRISM, Starring Robert Lindsay, at Hampstead Theatre

Hampstead Theatre presents the world premiere of Terry Johnson's delightfully witty and poignant new play Prism, based on the extraordinary life of double Oscar-winning cinematic master Jack Cardiff (An African Queen, The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus). Robert Lindsay returns to Hampstead Theatre as Jack, 'the man who made women look beautiful', and will be joined by Claire Skinner, Rebecca Night and Barnaby Kay.

Take a look at the cast in rehearsals below!

Legendary cinematographer Jack Cardiff has retired to the sleepy village of Denham, Buckinghamshire. His days of hard work - and play - on some of the most famous sets in the world are now long behind him, as are his secret liaisons with some of the most famous women in the world... Surrounded by memorabilia from a lifetime of 'painting with light', the writing of an autobiography should be an easy matter - were it not that Jack would now rather live in the past than remember it.
