Book excerpt: The fascinating collection of photographs in Snowdon on Stage presents a period of startling change in theatre - from 1954 to the present - in addition to the many changes Snowdon himself initiated in the style of theatre photography. Snowdon's photographs capture the reckless, stylish spirit of genius of some of the world's greatest stage actors - Nigel Hawthorne, Peter Ustinov, Fiona Shaw, Ralph Fiennes, Vanessa Redgrave, Helen Mirren, and of course, Laurence Olivier - as well as directors, designers, and writers such as Alan Bennett, Arthur Miller, Harold Pinter, and Alan Ayckbourn. Simon Callow's introduction gives and insider's account of the people and places of the heyday of British theatre, and Snowdon's part in it all.
