Huntsman At The Apollo Theatre: In conversation with Sir Mark Rylance

Watch Huntsman’s Head Cutter and Creative Director Campbell Carey in conversation with Sir Mark Rylance on stage at the Apollo Theatre. Sir Mark Rylance stars in "Jerusalem" as Johnny "Rooster" Byron, in the 16-week run of Jez Butterworth's trailblazing play. For his role, Sir Mark once again turned to Huntsman to create part of his stage wardrobe. Of all the tribulations of bespoke tailoring, there is none more trying than asking a Cutter to create a suit that doesn’t quite fit- but that’s exactly what was required for the role. Using vintage cloth Campbell worked closely to design a garment as Sir Mark Rylance revises his role in this iconic play, 14 years after starring in the original production. Campbell joined Mark in conversation on stage ahead of his performance. Watch as they discuss the nuances of designing his suit, and how Sir Mark uses the physical cues from his wardrobe to refine his characterization. Of course, this is not the first time Huntsman has created garments for Sir Mark. In the 2022 Gangster Thriller, ‘The Outfit’ Huntsman created Sir Mark’s wardrobe for his role as a bespoke tailor. Jerusalem is on stage now, until August 7th. #markrylance #sirmarkrylance #apollotheatre #jerusalem #jezbutterworth #bespoketailoring #stagecostume #costumedesign #costume #savilerowtailoring #savilerow #huntsmansavilerow #bespokesuit #vintagesuit #bespoke
