My last regular column for The Stage 💙
I LOVE theatre with my heart & soul and I am so sad at how little has changed for costume workers in the last 5 years.
Film & TV are not perfect by any means, but the tide is definitely turning for costume folks there, so, off I go.....

Really looking forward to #SoutraGilmour & Simon Kenny from SCENE/CHANGE giving 2022 Edward Gordon Craig Lecture next Thurs Research@Central & @theSTR. A collective intervention into the usually individualised world of theatre design. eventbrite.co.uk/e/str-edward-g…
