Am I the only one who sees a ‘red vest’ theme among the many characters? Message? Symbolism? Forgetful dresser?
Surely, Mister S, you cannot be unfamiliar with shows in which actors wear a basic costume with alternative pieces added for different characters? This was, overall, a “hat” show. That my vest stands out among the earthy tones of others’ costumes is less a “theme” and more a reflection of the city origin of one character and the name “Red” of another. That, and an aid to draw your eye away from the superior acting elsewhere on stage.
