For this production our director Jessica Bogart wanted to emphasize the relevance of War and Peace to the time we live in now. Combining 1812 Russian elements and modern punk styles we created our version of 19th century Russian. Using a specific color story to help our audience track characters and their relationships to one another as well as putting our ensemble in a selection of grays and blues to resemble the story world around our leads.
