Page to Stage: Popular Mechanicals by day – Tom Snout

What if Elizabethan style dress had never quite fallen out of fashion? What if cod pieces and capes were still all the rage? Recognisable contemporary clothing is overlayed with Elizabethan detailing and accessories.

Here we see Tom Snout, played by Lesley Marler, cape slung across one shoulder of a repurposed cotton shirt with Elizabethan additions. The period for the production is now, but not quite this now.

The production was directed by Sue Rider and designed by Christopher Smith.
