Dad’s army
costumes need to look authentic and be tailored to the individual characters in
the play, which is based on the popular television comedy series set in the fictitious
1940’s town of Walmington-on-Sea.
There are
some very strong characters in the piece with the pompous banker, Captain
Mainwaring, leading a troop of unlikely local men to train as the home guard.
With the
suave sergeant Wilson as his sidekick, Mainwaring leads his ‘privates’ into all
sorts of hilarious mishaps whilst trying to save Walmington-on-Sea from
invasion by the Germans.
The troop includes
Lance Corporal Jones the butcher, Frazer the dour Scots undertaker, the
incontinent Godfrey and dim witted mummy’s boy Pike, who always wears a scarf
over his uniform.
Other characters
include, Mrs Pike with her coat and headscarf, Mrs Fox with her brash dress and
fox fur and the plainly dressed Mrs Grey.
Admiral
Costumes have a great set of WW2 style blouson tunics, trousers, chip bag hats
and putties to create the look for this show. With some lovely tea dresses,
coats and hats for the 1940’s ladies.
