Intelligent Life magazine asked the women of the acting company 'Which decade of fashion best suits you?' If they'd asked me, I would have said the 1930s. Give me a pair of high-waisted pleated trousers that gently billow towards the shoe, and I'm a happy camper.

Everything suddenly going very fast with time racing away... here we are well into the second week of rehearsals, and 30 or so opinions are being brought to bear on the world I am trying to create as the cast and rest of the creative team start to focus on the play in earnest.
