The Comedy of Errors is looking for a COSTUME DESIGNER

We're looking for a creative mind to design costumes for The Dryden Society's May Week garden play; costuming will be essential in elevating the chaos and whimsy of this delightful production!

Trinity's May Week Play, The Comedy of Errors, is looking for a Costume Designer!
With a fairly limited budget, we're looking for people who can make/put together/source outfits creatively, but also with low cost. This might involve charity shops, vinted, upcycling, even making things yourself if that's something you can do! While we're not concerned with period accuracy, we want to reflect the feeling of whimsy and chaos that this play encapsulates.

If you'd like an idea of the type of things we are looking for, we've put together a board of different inspirations, although these are in no means prescriptive and we are open to any interpretations.

We have a cast of 11 for 14 characters, so ways to differentiate the outfits of those multi-rolling is essential.
The main joke of this play is that there are two pairs of identical twins, leading to many cases of mistaken identity. In our production, the actors playing the twins look nothing alike so we are relying on costume to make it clear that they are supposed to look the same.

If you would be interested in applying for the role, please contact drydensoc@gmail.com by Monday 25th May at the latest. We would love to hear why you think you are suited for the role, any experience you might have, and preliminary ideas or vision for the costuming.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Contact drydensoc@gmail.com before 25th May 2026 23:59 for more details.
