Up to Angels the Costumiers today to find a costume for Sue. Lots of lovely gowns, including a black-and-gold-thread one that Sue pronounced “Disco-tastic.” In the end we opt for a number with a gold beaded bodice and sleeves, and a brown and black stripey skirt. It’s dark, and I’m worried that maybe it won’t project too well on the scrim, but I hope in fact she will look slightly ghostly, merging a bit with the background below the waist. I took pictures for the directors, but noticed later that I had my phone switched to black and white. What it is to be old – yet another senior moment. Hideous journey, but it provide the opportunity for more reading and commenting. I find hauling my brain from century to century particularly hard at the moment.
