A series of promotional images, designed and captured to advertise a theatrical production of Andrew Bovell's haunting family drama, When The Rain Stops Falling. The play follows four generations of the same family, set in a London flat across four different time periods, from 1965 to the present day. The play explores themes of inherited trauma and free will as the family struggle to come to terms with a dark secret that is bringing them to their knees, amidst a never ending rain storm and a fish that falls from the sky.
