EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from July 1962, we witness a remarkable encounter between Leslie Evershed-Martin and the esteemed Princess Marina in the grand foyer of Chichester Festival Theatre. Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, was known to be a regular visitor to this iconic theatre, and her presence added an air of regality to every performance she attended. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as Leslie Evershed-Martin engages in conversation with the elegant princess. Their animated discussion seems to reflect their shared passion for the arts and their appreciation for the cultural significance of Chichester Festival Theatre. As dignitaries and royalty often do, Princess Marina graced this occasion with her undeniable charm and grace. Her radiant smile illuminates the frame while capturing her genuine interest in engaging with those around her. This photograph is part of the Chichester Photographic Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. It serves as a testament to both the historical importance of Chichester Festival Theatre during that era and its ability to attract distinguished visitors such as Princess Marina. While it is unclear what specific topic they were discussing or what brought them together on that particular day, one can only imagine how privileged Mr. Evershed-Martin must have felt conversing with such an influential figure. This image stands as a tribute not only to these two individuals but also to all who have contributed towards making Chichester Festival Theatre an enduring symbol of artistic excellence throughout history.
