It's opening night!! Come see us - well, see them, I'm backstage getting all the costume set up - at the Oxford Castle! @siege_theatre Twelfth Night is good to go!

Phew. Finished doublets for #TwelfthNight and I'm just home from the dress and tech run. Onwards, to the first night! @siege_theatre #twelfthnight #siegetheatre #shakespeare #theatre #costume #cesario #sebastian #handmade #linen #costumeproducer https://www.instagram.com/p/B0evgkDnaw7/?igshid=icwr6761cj28

And the first of the twin doublets was finished at Horrible O'clock this morning - hence the black and grey filter here to compensate for the yellowish lights inside the house. Meet Sebastian, of Messaline! @siege_theatre #twelfthnight #siegetheatre #shakespeare #theatre #costume #costumemanagement #linen #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/B0a9HVNHGQj/?igshid=18h7o9ftfxfh5

Love this bunch of theatre weirdos. @siege_theatre Twelfth Night cast (most of 'em) getting a pre show brief from the Director. #TwelfthNight #siegetheatre #shakespeare #theatre #costume #costumemanagement #stagemanagement (at Oxford Castle & Prison) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0yuU-lH1wA/?igshid=1xqu77r6z2psa

Olivia seems to have had a heavy night, she's hanging... OK that was terrible. All the same, a week of dusty Castle took a toll on her hem so she came home to get some mid-run repairs! @siege_theatre @charlie_j_morgan #TwelfthNight #siegetheatre #shakespeare #theatre #costume #costumemanagement #stagemanagement https://www.instagram.com/p/B0xvzizn4Fn/?igshid=o332um8s5tv5

Colour work for #TwelfthNight - using spreadsheets to block the basic colours for each character's outfit to make sure nobody is too 'muddy'. This is separate to their silhouettes, which I have an idea of already. What I want is for each character to visibly 'belong' to their group: Orsino has a grey-white-blue palette, Olivia has black-reds-golds, and characters who aren't 'aligned' to the two Nobles still need to match the overall theme and not look too out of place - there's very little green in these outfits! The production is taking place outside, with natural light, on a plain stone set. We have props, which I will use to weave in more colours. #Shakespeare #Theatre #CostumeDesign #NeedMoreGreen #Maybe #SiegeTheatre #OxfordShakespeareFestival #OxfordCastle #Play https://www.instagram.com/p/BzNgFUnAts3/?igshid=1ppbysi1dd0h6

The next doublet is slowly pulling together! Sewing machine exuding steam. Send tea. #shakespeare #twelfthnight #siegetheatre #costumemanagement #costume #theatre https://www.instagram.com/p/B0GHFtyH34u/?igshid=4z5kv7r6sz2k
