Thoughts please

Costume

Neal
Wears mostly work wear, certainly does not make a point of getting changed when he gets home. His suits are cheap because he likes to go keep going down to the wards where they get ruined. This man has no creative flair about him. This clothing is only for practical use.
Rachel
I think she was more fashionable as a teenager and in her early 20’s but pragmatism has become her key word. When something needs replacing she will rush into M &S and grab it and then grab another couple of things that she likes whilst she is there.
She will tell you she owns a pair of Jimmy Choo’s this is not a sign of her fashion but the sign of conformity to being willing to spend a lot of money to fit in. She knows they are the must have and therefore want’s to have some to help fit in. It is her talking point.
She is feminine and likes to dress so, so the summer number would be a dress not trousers and to the pub it would be kitten heels not trainers. She is confident but reserved so, as legs and tops as low as everyone around her but never more so. Hence probably very short when younger but has rapidly being getting longer.
Richie
He is the shirt, jacket and jeans guy. It is a combination that he likes; he has developed it to perfection and one he is never letting go to. He considers it his look and will wear it for many years to come. It also practical the linen/ cotton shirts dry quickly and can be hand washed in most sinks. He wears jeans as they do not have to be washed for weeks and his jackets are well made enough that they survive being thrown all over the place.
All are late spring and is warm. (Except last scene)

Act sc1
Early morning 8am. Richie has travelled on the plane, Neal is ready for work
Act1 sc2
No costume change
Act 1 Sc3
I don’t feel Richie would change but ask.
Rachel would have to come straight to the pub from work.
Ac1 sc4
Change of tie for Neal. It would be the same suit and a new shirt and tie.
Richie maybe a new shirt?

A1 Sc 5
I still need to talk to Sophie about her journey.
Act 1 s6
Richie
With sunglasses.
Rachel summery dress, she needs to be able to move around. Not too short as they throw each other about a lot. Big practical pants.
Act 2 s1
Neal and Richie same. A third tie.
Rachel in evening wear. She is really making an effort.
Act 2 S2
The sexy underwear from her drawer. She then gets dressed into the jogging bottoms and a big t shirt.
Richie
Normal but starts in pants.
Act 2 3
A new tie for Neal
Rachel spent the night in a hotel. So she is probably in what she had on last night. (It will also help to trail through the guilt and smell of sex)
Act 2. S4
Neal has let go and need to ask actor about how much effort he is making.
Act 2 S6
