A new play following Tait and a group of young men in a Young Offenders Institution (YOI) quilting class.
The aim of the costume design was to create a world that felt as authentic and grounded in reality as possible. We focused on accurately reflecting the environment through the uniforms, clothing, and fashion trends of the different periods represented within the play. The costumes within the Institute used a soft pastel colour palette, inspired by the calming tones often found in institutional environments such as the YOI. This muted palette created a controlled and subdued atmosphere, contrasting with the bright, vibrant colours worn by the girls at the party.
