I designed and constructed all the costumes for the play Surgery in Mind in the 2015 Wellington Fringe Festival produced by Playhouse Productions.
Synopsis: ‘Young Lena needs to have a tumour removed from her brain. She is put to sleep but wakes up in her mind's Underworld with a quest of discovery to complete. Through classical Greek figures that she battles and befriends, Lena learns about perception, emotion and choice but is it too late?’
