EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Wendy North, a native of Chichester, is seen meticulously working on one of Joan Plowright's costumes in the wardrobe department of the Chichester Festival Theatre. The year is 1962, and the theatrical atmosphere is palpable as Wendy focuses intently on her task, her nimble fingers deftly maneuvering the fabric and thread around the wooden dummy. The Chichester Festival Theatre, a cultural landmark in the picturesque English town, was a hub of creativity and innovation during the 1960s. Joan Plowright, a renowned British actress, was a regular presence at the theatre, gracing the stage with her talent and artistry. The costumes she wore were an integral part of her performances, and the wardrobe department played a crucial role in ensuring their perfection. Wendy North, with her unwavering dedication and skill as a seamstress, was a vital member of the team. Her expertise in mending, altering, and creating costumes ensured that each production was a visual feast for the audience. In this photograph, she is seen in her element, her concentration unbroken as she works on Plowright's costume. The dummy, a common tool in the wardrobe department, stands in as a model, allowing Wendy to fine-tune every detail of the costume. The 1960s were a golden era for British theatre, and this photograph captures a moment of quiet intensity and dedication within the Chichester Festival Theatre's wardrobe department. Wendy North's unwavering focus and commitment to her craft are a testament to the behind-the-scenes efforts that bring the magic of the theatre to life.
