Costume Design

Megan’s recent costume design work was for ‘Union’ a world premiere staged at the Royal Lyceum Theatre in 2014. The play was about the original 1707 Union of Scotland and England and took real history and historical characters and events but approached them with a freedom that was playful, anachronistic and had an epic sweep through time and place taking on politicians, royalty and bankers.

She designed the costumes to reflect the need for an audience to trust the historical truth and arguments of the piece but to get away from a literal accuracy using colour and texture to give each its own sensual definition from bawdy taverns and the Scottish parliament to the court of Queen Anne. Using contemporary references alongside period cuts to create a visual dialogue between the period of the play and the audience who were watching it. She designed the costumes for ‘ Guid Sisters’ by Michael Tremblay in 2012-13 for the National theatre of Scotland at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh and Kings Theatre Glasgow in collaborating with set designer Francis O Connor and director Serge Denoncourt, this time the costumes were a heightened medley of 60 prints and colour for 15 female actors. ANA which had its world premiere in Montreal Canada and then toured Scotland in 2011-2012. The play was truly collaborative between two countries, two writers, two producers, two languages, a mix of Quebecois and Scottish actors with a combined creative team, the costumes spanned 600 years across four countries and cultures.
