EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Frederick Nihda, the visionary head of the costume jewellery department at Chichester Festival Theatre during its inaugural year of 1962, is seen working alongside his assistant, the young and talented Miss Nicola Scott. The image captures the behind-the-scenes magic of the theatrical production, as Nihda meticulously crafts a piece of jewellery that would soon grace the stage. Nihda's presence at Chichester Festival Theatre was pivotal, as he played a crucial role in bringing the theatrical vision of Sir Laurence Olivier to life. His expertise in costume jewellery design was instrumental in enhancing the visual storytelling of each production, adding an essential layer of detail and authenticity. Miss Nicola Scott, the daughter of the renowned naturalist and painter Sir Peter Markham Scott, brings an air of sophistication and elegance to the scene. Her presence in the costume department was a testament to the interconnectedness of the arts community in the 1960s. The photograph transports us back to a bygone era, where the creative process was a collaborative and passionate endeavour. The intricacy of Nihda's work, combined with the dedication and focus of both him and his assistant, underscores the importance of the costume department in bringing theatrical productions to life. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into every aspect of a theatrical production, from the set design to the intricate details of the costumes. The photograph serves as a testament to the creativity and innovation that flourished in the world of theatre during the 1960s, and the vital role that individuals like Frederick Nihda and Miss Nicola Scott played in shaping the theatrical landscape.
