One
of the most eagerly anticipated events of Somerville Arts Week was the
historical costume show, a presentation of the history of the college using
photographs from the archives and a huge variety of outfits ranging from
Victorian and Edwardian costumes from the National Theatre, used originally in
productions of The Cherry Orchard or The White Guard, to some beautiful 90s
treasures, including some vintage Versace for the introduction of boys in 1994.
The
evening began with a demonstration from Angels cocktail bar, where the
attendees learned how to make classics such as martinis, cosmopolitans and
mojitos, as well as some new creations like the ‘Maid in Chelsea’, a mixture of gin, lemon juice and elderflower
cordial! Next, we moved over to the chapel for some harp music, a presentation
and the show itself, accompanied by some great period accessories and music.
With thanks to the National Theatre, OUDS & Angels Cocktail Bar.
