Highlight Talk - Kate Phillips on Burns and Slavery

Ayr
The image shows a woman standing backstage area of a theater. She is leaning casually on a wooden structure, smiling and looking to the side. Surrounding her are ropes, pulleys, and wooden beams, indicating the area may be used for stage rigging or set movement. The walls are brick, somewhat worn, and industrial in appearance, illuminated by a bright overhead light. The setting gives the impression of a behind-the-scenes look at a theater's technical area.
