Starstruck in the Cathedral :: 25th April, 2009

Starstruck in the Cathedral - August 15th to September 6th 2009

 

Starstruck in the Cathedral

"STARSTRUCK", will feature a dazzling array of costumes worn by major stars in a series of BAFTA and Oscar award-winning films, as well as TV & theatre productions. These include costumes worn by Kate Winslet, Keira Knightley, Johnny Depp, Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Madonna, Cate Blanchett, Gwyneth Paltrow and Heath Ledger to name just a few!

Worcester Cathedral‘s Event Manager Debbie Liggins is working with the curator Kate Bailey who works extensively for the V & A and specializes in the production of theatrical exhibitions throughout the country. For Kate, this three-week exhibition will be the culmination of months of work in researching costumes, contacting their designers, tracking down the authentic articles and carefully displaying them for the exhibition.

The Dean of Worcester, Peter Atkinson said, "Its a truly majestic backdrop for these beautiful costumes. There will be over eighty costumes, and we will be creating several dramatic tableaux, incorporating props to give a really theatrical feel."

Many of the costumes will be sourced from long-established film costumiers as well as the Royal Shakespeare Company.

The exhibition will run from August 15th to September 6th with the aim of raising money for the Cathedral, its mission and its outreach.
