The costume was decided when I was away for an audition. I was sent a message explaining that we are having simple but effective costumes to differentiate each pig and the wolf. Mr Kelly crafted pig masks for each of us, and also the wolf mask for Liam, and an extra wolf mask for when we trick the wolf into thinking we are his mum. He explained what he had created, which was half a cardboard pipe of loo roll with string tied around it, with pink fluff stuck to the outside, for each pig nose. He then gave us each a head band with pink material in the shape of ears. For costume, in the sense of what each pig wore, we had slightly altered costumes to show the difference between us. Danny wore a dress, to show that he was Mummy Pig. I wore worker boots, jeans and a checked shirt. This gave a sort of builder look, which related to my character in that I built my house out of bricks.
The lighting designs for these productions was kept simple as we did not have previous access to reach schools equipment. We left the lights as they were, giving the production simplicity, and not focusing on certain parts of the stage, but the piece as a whole.
