The idea for our costume is to keep it as simple as possible, with myself and Beth multi rolling a lot it is important that the costume is simple as we will need to make rapid changed in between scenes into new characters. We are planning on having the costume rail onstage whilst we perform, so there will be this element of the audience seeing us change into character onstage, will help highlight the play within a play aspect which we want to create. Additionally the audience may feel uncomfortable or feel closer to us as actors that we change in front of them, which I think will work well as they will feel fully participated as a spectator.
