Wigs and Makeup

Hair and makeup provide the finishing touches to the creation of a character. A team of makeup artists and wig makers take care of the actors' heads and bodies before and during every show. Capable of creating burns or scars, dreadlocks or beards, the wig and makeup team at the National Theatre are a highly skilled and essential part of any production.

    Wigs overview

    The Wig Department is responsible for hair, wigs and special effects make-up. Wigs are quite often worn when a character needs a particular hairstyle but doesn't have natural hair which is entirely suitable. The National handmakes its wigs, and most are made to measure or adapted from existing stock.
