Most dramas and plays involve a bedroom scene or farce, requiring
memorable night attire, ranging from frilly nighties and housecoats, to over
the top negligees and garish pyjamas.
The traditional British sense of humour gains a great deal
of amusement from seeing characters out of their usual daily attire and in
their night clothes, the more ridiculous the underwear or nightwear the better.
The use of night caps, sock suspenders, hair rollers and nets, brightly coloured
socks all adds the element of fun.
In 1930’s ‘whodunnit’ type plays, there is generally an
intruder and all members of the cast have to appear in elegant period
negligees, dressing gowns or smoking jackets.
In The Sound of Music, Maria and the children all have lovely
white Victorian style demure cotton
nightdresses and Scrooge spends most of his time on stage in a nightgown and
cap.
From Margot Ledbetter in her 70’s floaty housecoats, Sybil Fawlty
in her over the top frilly bedcoat and Wendy in Peter Pan, nightwear is still
an important element in costuming a show.
