A new adaptation from Britain's National Theatre grabbed director Desmond Price as the perfect vehicle for the university's students. Approached to design the costumes we sought a mix of cartoon and costume history. Colourful but still feeling like a period drama.
Watching the students in Capilano University's Costuming for Stage and Screen program  realize my designs was a true joy. Under the mentorship of instructors Kim Bothen and Charlotte Burke over 35 costumes, many built from the ground up, a prosthetic boot, and brilliant wig work was produced.
​At the time this represented one of the largest show I had ever done.
