...costuming—by Elyssa Jakim ’10—draws straight from the 1980 musical “Les Misérables,” particularly in the case of the peasants. The actors are mostly clad in shabby fringed shawls, diaphanous white blouses, snug black corsets, and long, full skirts. Danton’s attire, however, is decidedly anachronistic, for he shambles about like a lazy grad student in untucked button-down and dark-wash jeans...
Much of the production rests on making the audience a part of the crumbling Wingfield household, and O’Keefe craftily invites the viewer in.

They wore tabis, or mittens for the feet, with treaded rubber soles, which provided protection against stones, glass and nails in the road, as well as traction on ice or in mud.
