further when Much Ado

Like It open in August.

Miss Garrod must be on

as required,

Then she must recomb
every wig and have it ready
for the next performance.
She is on hand. in the stars’
dressing rooms for changes
and assists the entire cast.

When the theatre opened,
wigs were rented but now
there are hundreds tucked
away in numbered boxes in
a storeroom. Some cannbe
