The Secret Rapture 2008

Directed by Emily Penick 2008
Costume Design by Paula D. Davis

David Hare’s 1988 play, The Secret Rapture, is very much a story of its time yet still resonates with audiences today. As such, we wanted to keep very true to the 80s and so researched the Britain of Margaret Thatcher and Princess Di through imagery. I was especially interested in the power suits of the period inspired by 1950s Chanel suits.
