Join Jane Pritchard, Curator of Dance, Theatre and Performance at the Victoria and Albert Museum, for a richly illustrated talk exploring William Nicholson's fascinating, and often overlooked, contribution to the theatre in the early 20th century, from Peter Pan to Hogarth's Rake.
Best known as a painter and printmaker, William Nicholson also threw himself into the world of performance, creating designs for plays, musical shows, and ballets. Working with bold and innovative producers such as Nigel Playfair and C. B. Cochran, he helped shape a new vision for stage design at a time of great change in British theatre.
Discover how Nicholson's creative imagination leapt from the canvas to the stage, and how his theatrical designs reflect the wider story of performance, art, and innovation in the period.
This talk is part of our March Late event. By purchasing this talk ticket you also gain free access to our galleries, exhibitions and drop-in activities from 5-8.30pm.
