Description Papazoglou and Rew have taken Shakespeare's love farce of illusion, ego-mania and self-indulgence and reset it in the fashion world. The actors will be costumed in avant garde outfits by Wanganui Polytechnic fashion design student Pauline Henderson. 'The play is given a contemporary setting, the cast strutting their stuff upon catwalk stages in jewl-bright costumes ranging from designer streetwear to wearable art.' (Dominion).
