I didn't take any photos at all during the technical rehearsals of George, the readiness of the costumes suffered a bit from being a, the 3rd show, and b, the most decorated. All that gold trim and frogging is immensely fiddly and time-consuming to apply. Endless bodily fluid notes for the poor King's 'small clothes' didn't help either.
The big 18th century wigs are a nightmare as well, they look wonderful or ghastly, seems there is no middle way! Molly O'Connor has done wonders.
But the results are spectacular, I could have done costume drawings till my shoulders seized up, but all would have been for nothing had they not been so brilliantly executed by Stacy Sutton's extraordinary team. I really think the Old Globe has one of the best costume shops in the world - truly world class.
