Open Rehearsal: The Court Theatre Blog

ILLUSION Clothing Design
Here’s a sample of clothing designer Jacqueline Firkins’s drawings for The Illusion. On first rehearsal, Jacqueline spoke about the play’s ambivalent attention to historical accuracy, asserting that the play “doesn’t work” if you try to set it in modern dress. At the same, there’s a danger of being too rigorous about the period. Kushner’s The Illusion is itself playfully anachronistic, and Jacqueline’s costumes draw from the twentieth century as well as the seventeenth.
THE ILLUSION runs March 11 - April 11 at Court Theatre.
