Costume Design

Question 1

What would Felletti wear ?

Answer 1

• white cotton shirt: collar turned up and the top 3 buttons undone: not scruffy but instead it’s folded outward and the colour is not creased (takes influence from the shirts commonly work by journalist Camilla Cederna)
• tan/cream coloured cotton blend bouclé pencil skirt
• light brown thin belt around her hips
• cream coloured cable knit woolen jumper hanging from her shoulders down her back with the arms neatly tied hanging down
• white Pearl earrings
• hair neatly tied up in a French Twist

Question 2

What would you have inspector Pissani wear ?

Answer 2

• white woollen polo neck jumper not overly tight but slim fit(inspiration from Luigi Calabrese)
• Dark beige chinos
• brown Oxford shoes
• Argentinean leather belt

Question 3

What would you have Bertozzo wear ?

Answer 3

• white sweat stained cotton t shirt relaxed fit
• **dark blue suit trousers held up by suspenders **with an empty holster for a pistol attached above the left side of his chest
• blue and white striped tie loosely done up around his collar which has the top button undone
• black Oxford shoes

Question 4

What would you have the Constable wearing ?

Answer 4

• a white cotton shirt
• blue ties done up smartly
• easily recognisable blue woollen commando jumper typical of late 1900s police forces with metropolitan police label
• a custodian helmet: typically a British police force helmet worn by male officers
• dark blue cotton blend suit trousers- relaxed fit slightly too large: lack of funding perhaps organisation is poor as a result+ element of farce
• black rounded oxfords shoes

Question 5

What would you have the maniac wearing at the very start of the play ?

Answer 5

• tweed green jacket: well fitting, connotes class and status which is juxtaposition to what he attempts to tear down- false impression audience like the police
• white cotton shirt
• blue tie done up
• dark navy blue chinos
• brown boat shoes
• thin spectacles
• ** shabby hair in a poor attempt at a warrior cut style with far too much of the hair sticking up**
• goatee- not very thick or bushy but well kept

It’s an facade of professionalism subverting the audiences expectations
