After Dark

The production After Dark was written by Hugh Janes, and directed by Katie Villa.
Through Bikeshed Theatre ( www.bikeshedtheatre.co.uk ), and the lovely Bee Watson who has her own company The Costume Box ( www.thecostumeboxdevon.co.uk ) I was able to get my first taste of working in Theatre. I was assigned the role of Costume Stylist for the production and with the advice from Bee I was able to research the costumes needed and dressing up to 15 characters. I was able to source clothes, make new contacts, go to dress rehearsals, arrange fittings, feel the pressures of deadlines meanwhile having no funds available. I found this first experience a challenge, yet I was happy to meet it as it meant getting a realistic taste of what is to be expected in this profession I have chosen.
