'Brighton Beach Memoirs'

'Brighton Beach Memoirs', directed by Ian Dunn, was a 2016 Napier University/QMU collaborative production performed at QMU's Black Box.

The wardrobe team was made up of Supervisor Emily Kenyon-Roberts, Designer Becky Trigg, Specialist Cutter Kathryn Thorogood and 6 Wardrobe Assistants. 

During this show, Helena created mother Kate's ensemble, Cousin Nora's blouse  as well as alterations on Eugene's Knickerbockers, Laurie's Pinafore and Blanche's blouse. This production also required the use of breaking down costume to age the clothing's appearance.
