Costumes designs for Bolingbroke, a conjuror played by David Waller, Thomas Horner, an armourer played by Charles West and the Clerk of Chatham played by Harold Innocent.\r\n\r\n<i>King Henry VI</i> by William Shakespeare, directed by Douglas Seale with set, property and costume designs was first performed at the Old Vic in October 1957 with Parts 1 and 2 opening on 16 October, and Part 3 on 17 October.\r\n\r\nDouglas Seale's production followed on from his staging of the three plays in Birmingham four years earlier, but cut so that Parts 1 and 2 could be presented on one evening. Philip Hope Wallace in the Manchester Gurdian (18 October 1957) considered that Hurry's scenery was 'effective enough: a murky cavern, with side kennels and a fusty gloom about it...but pieces of scenery dangled and flapped, and here [as with the overall production[ was a general feeling that the grand design and strategy are still not quite finished'. Punch 23 October 1957 noted that 'Leslie Hurry has dressed it well, and his sloping stage edged by dark caverns fits it without fuss.' \r\n\r\nThe scenery was made in the Old Vic workshop under the direction of W. H. Parker and painted by Leslie Woolnough. Photographs by Angus McBean in the core collection of the Theatre & Performance Collections show the set as realised.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","physicalDescription":"Watercolour, ink and crayon on paper costume design by Leslie Hurry for Bolingbroke, a conjuror played by David Waller, Thomas Horner, an armourer played by Charles West and the Clerk of Chatham played by Haorld Innocent in <i>King Henry VI</i> by the Old Vic Company 1957.
