When I see stuff like this, I wish I was one — are they not fantastic?  “Once upon a time, men wore topcoats and top hats.  They will again.” As the Under the Poppy production ideas mutate and accrete (attain accretion?), I see more and more clearly the drapes, swaths, grime, flowers and slutty little furbelows (come to think of it, what a word!) that we’ll be dressing our players in, and enjoying it all wildly in advance.

Clothes do make the man, you know.
