John Bede Valentine (1941 – 2020) Hull Theatre Photographs
Upper Foyer, Hull Truck Theatre from 11am (Tuesday to Saturday)
An exhibition of photos of Hull Arts Centre, Humberside Theatre and Hull Truck Theatre productions from the early 70s now on display at Hull Truck Theatre.
Hull Truck Theatre’s 50th anniversary programme focuses on all the people who have supported and contributed to the theatre, including the many talented artists who have kept it at the heart of Hull’s creative core for half a century.
One of those talented artists was photographer John Valentine, who left a rich archive of negatives and contact sheets that include photos of many actors at the start of their careers – Richard Beckinsale, Bob Hoskins, Alan Williams, Edward Peel, Illona Linthwaite and Carole Boyd to name a few. Rick Welton, arts producer and Hull Arts Centre’s first employee has presented a small exhibition of John’s work from the early 70s at Hull Truck Theatre. The photographs in the exhibition have been scanned from John’s original negatives, kindly provided by his wife, Sylvie Hannes.
