Staging the Ages

Staging the Ages brought students from Highbury Grove, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Islington Arts and Media Schools to the Almeida theatre for a series of unique costume workshops led by a team of directors, actors and costume designers.

Using Michael Hasting’s Tom and Viv, which spans over 40 years, as a base, the students explored how costumes changed between 1850 – 1950.
