LeopoldStadt

By Tom Stoppard

This heartbreaking play is journey through not one, not two, but four distinct time periods. 1899, 1924, 1938, and 1955. The challenge was to create costumes that were obvious to the time period but also not confusing as to who is who. A period piece, I was faced with the challenge of being accurate to character and time. I also was trying a technique I have seen professional designers do where they do color on part of the costume and line-work on the other…I don’t know, maybe its to see style lines better?
