A piece of art inspired by an actor's on-stage pose will be the UK's largest cast bronze sculpture when it goes on display next year.
The 7m (23ft) sculpture, called Messenger, will be installed outside the Theatre Royal Plymouth.
Sculptor Joseph Hillier was inspired to create it by an actor rehearsing Shakespeare's Othello at the theatre.
He said its name refers to the "pivotal" role of a performer to "breathe life into words".
The sculpture, commissioned by the theatre, had a working title of Bianca after the character whose "split-second pose" is the basis for the piece.

"The actor carries the voice of her playwright or director - she carried a message.
"It's a metaphor for what great theatre does," he added.
