Not really work in progress, but a fabulous experience which was utterly inspirational.
In my last year of university (Exeter - English and drama), in the late 80s, I wrote my dissertation about David Hockney’s stage design - integral was his 1975 Glyndebourne production of The Rakes Progress inspired by Hogarth’s series. I had only seen the designs in 2D, but on Friday, for the first time I saw it in real life and met the designer himself - it didn’t disappoint- and nor did he - it was an amazing production- and he wonderful. A magical experience.
