Adam DantHow Theatre Works

Signed, dated and numbered from the edition of 200, printed by Sky Editions, London, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the National Theatre.

Adam Dant has been lauded as the '21st century Hogarth' for his intellectually and visually rich depictions of contemporary life. His style, incorporating folklore, historical research and architectural detail, is always imbued with gentle satire. In this lithograph, Dant presents the National Theatre’s alchemic combination of theatrical tradition and technical wizardry - both exposing and mythologising its processes.
