Props and Costumes

For our final piece we decided for the actors costumes to be plain black clothing with a camouflage jacket. This represents the war and the need for them to survive no matter what. The plain black clothing was used to keep the characters simple yet effective to keep the audience guessing but also interested. For the two gas mask characters which I and Beckie played we simply added a gas mask which symbolized the nuclear war and distinguished them from the single character Beckie also played.We picked our costumes by using the fancy dress area located in the bunker which contained jackets, gas masks, ect and we got the plain clothing from home. Other props that we used were a wooden coffin and beds. These were already located in the bunker for our use.
