Review from The Column: "Costume design by Stacey Greenawalt [King] is basic and perfect for the characters. None of the characters are "over the top" unless need be and subtle changes make for perfect accents to the production. Ms. Greenawalt [King] obviously understands the written characters and demonstrates that understanding, for example, with mismatched shoes on the "slow" character of Ellard Simms in one of his scenes. The attention to detail is shown throughout the production and executed well."

Before auditions, I combed through the text of the play, noting Shue's character descriptions and various needs, then assembled a costume 'map' to present to the director. During auditions and casting, we made necessary adjustments. After casting, I worked with each actor to find appropriate costume elements in his/her own closet, however this yielded only about 1/3 of needed items. To fill in the gaps, I worked within a $100 budget to borrow, purchase, modify, and hand-make remaining costume items. Among the items hand-made from scratch: British military 'fatigues' complete with rank and unit patches humorously appropriate for the small theatre-in-the-round setting, quick-change bow tie, dish-towel apron with pockets, and deliberately shoddy 'invisible empire' robes/hoods. Items modified to fit the characterization/scene: Several flannel shirts, a sweater turned into a sweater vest, and boots/jeans/shirt painted to look very convincingly sooty.
