Three people gathered together look at someone out of shot. One wears a purple apron and sits at a table with a mixing bowl on it, looking curious. One stands behind, leaning on the back of the seated person’s chair and looks unsure. At the back, the third person holds on hand to their cheek and looks concerned.

A person with short dark hair and a beard wearing a white t-shirt stands in the centre of a rehearsal space, looking off to the left. Behind, other people move around a table set with chairs and a blue staircase spirals up.

Two people standing face to face, holding hands. One wears a purple apron and the other a green t-shirt. One speaks and the other smiles slightly.

A person with blonde hair wearing a tartan blouse holds one hand up as they direct an actor, who we can see the back of in the foreground.
