The Changeling gets technical

'Where blood and beauty first unlawfully fir'd their devotion and quench'd the right one.'

'Where blood and beauty first unlawfully fir'd their devotion and quench'd the right one.'

The cast and crew of The Changeling are working hard in the run-up to opening on Saturday 8th May. This is the time when all the technical details start to be put in place and it all starts to come together. The costumes are looking A-M-A-Z-I-N-G thanks to costume designer Alan Marshal and his dedicated team of makers. The costume team have been working all hours to realise Alan’s designs and from the fittings I’ve seen so far, we are in for a real costume treat! Meanwhile lighting and sound are putting the finishing touches to their plots, aiming to create a dark, visceral and stylised experience for the audience. It’s all looking and sounding great so be sure to book your ticket.
