Set in the
1940s era, Brief Encounter, the famous play by Noel Coward, tells the love
story between a mother who escapes her hum drum village life each week to visit
the local town where an illicit relationship develops from a chance meeting
with a handsome doctor.
Mostly set
in a railway station and cinema, Admiral Costumes have an excellent choice of
40s wear for the Doctor, passengers, WW2 soldiers en route to their
destinations and the tea ladies in the café where the lovers meet.
A set of
burgundy usherette uniforms, add to the atmosphere of a 40s cinema where Alec
and Laura spent many an afternoon.
Carnforth railway station in Lancashire was the original location for the 1945 film and
it was so exciting to see the iconic image for Brief Encounter re-created by
Tudor Players using our costumes for their recent production promotion photos.
Filmed at
Pickering Station on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, the two black and white
images are barely discernible from each other, with the atmospheric steam and
authentic style costumes creating an excellent reproduction.
Admiral
Costumes have an extensive collection of 40s wear suitable for film, plays,
re-enactments and for 40s days.
If you
would like to re-capture the wonderfully nostalgic scene from Brief Encounter
