The costume exhibition at the National Theatre
With 20 shows a year to dress, the costume department at the National Theatre has its work cut out. It ranges across the fourth and fifth floors of the South Bank complex, employing nearly 50 makers, buyers, textile and costume prop experts, dressers, repairers, as well as the world class designers and costume supervisors attached to each show.
Overseeing this small army of skilled craftsmen and women is Carol Lingwood, who joined the National 20 years ago after ten years as senior costume supervisor and then deputy head of costume at the Royal Opera House.
