Don’t worry! We don’t want to keep them!
You will be able to take them all back home again
at the end of the session and wear them until the end of March.
The
wardrobe staff will be making a note of which garments will be used in the
performance and, nearer the time, we will send you a list of which garments you
need to bring back in and when.
The idea of this session is that you don’t just
bring in the things you think you might wear, but that you bring in
other things from the list that might help other cast members. If we get this right, we should all
arrive at the Castle Street Centre looking as though we are going on at
least one week’s holiday.
We are trying to avoid blowing our budget on
things that we already have, conserving it for those things that we really need
to source elsewhere. Whatever we
can provide for ourselves, and each other, will be a saving towards the final
cost of the production.
You
may not have all of these items, but the more you can bring in the better. You may find that you can beg and
borrow from wives, husbands, teenage children, friends etc if there are
specific things that you don’t have yourselves, but think you can find.
Sunday
will be organised chaos – but will leave us with a very clear idea of what we
are all going to be wearing in the play and just how much the wardrobe
department need to buy, borrow and make.

work-boots or doc martins please could you either bring them in or bring in the
owner’s name and the shoe size (if they are prepared to lend them but don’t
want to part with them this weekend!).

Adult-sized cloaks, long black riding boots (men’s size) army uniforms, leather builders’ belts, leather army-style belts, straps etc, medals (could obviously be highly valued and we would respect owners’ wishes), barristers wigs
