Every costume tells a story. Some details deserve a closer look.
Join Royal Exchange Costume Cutter & Maker Sarah White and Exhibition Project Manager Roz Vallejo for an insider’s look at Mythic Reinvention, our major new exhibition celebrating 50 years of storytelling through costume and craft at the Royal Exchange Theatre.
Through the pieces on display, discover how approaches to storytelling have evolved across five decades, and the imagination, skill and collaboration woven into every costume.
With exclusive insights from Sarah and Roz, you’ll also discover how Mythic Reinvention itself took shape – from selecting the pieces and stories to share, to transforming our Victorian Great Hall into a space where the mythic and modern collide.
Whether you’re fascinated by costume, curious about our history or keen to see the exhibition through fresh eyes, this is your chance to ask questions and hear first-hand about the work behind it.
