Hi Everybody, I'm trying to find out if anybody knows of a set of costumes for Lionel Bart's 'Oliver!' that is available for hire. I work for a high school who is doing a production in March, and we are particularly looking for a large set of workhouse/orphanage clothes for our chorus. Does anybody know of any theatre companies/costume companies or other who have a set for hire? Thanks Gideon

Thanks Lindsay, Whitehorse

Thanks Lindsay, Whitehorse closed down last year, I believe they sold many of their costumes to try and make back some money. I'm not sure if another company/person or school now owns that set of costumes???

Hi I know Kelmscott Senior

Hi I know Kelmscott Senior High did Oliver about 5 or 6 years ago - they may have costumes to borrow / hire - they are often fundraising for music tours etc, so if you put it to them as a fundraising proposal they might like the idea :)

Why not get your parents

Why not get your parents together to produce the costumes & only hire in the odd special costume.

Basicly for the urchins they can be produced from headcloth & the rest cobled together or hire in only the few principal costumes.

You don't have to have a reoilving stage structure, with winched trucks. But it's not that difficult to produce a fairly imaginative set, that would enhance the mise en scene.
