Creating a historical production presents a unique set of challenges that you wouldn’t necessarily encounter on a contemporary production.

 

For example:

​​​

• What would be historically accurate in a given situation? And is historical accuracy the best approach - both for particular situations and the overall production?

​

• What props and costumes are required, and how should they be acquired? Should they be made, hired or purchased?
   

• Where is the best place to source particular props and costumes - particularly if they aren't available in hire houses?
   

• Where can you find specialist makers to make particular historical items, who are used to working to film and TV time frames?
   

• What types of performers and consultants would be appropriate, and where can they be found? Would stunt performers, SPACTs, or even reenactors be the most appropriate?
   

• Where can you find performers with specialist historical skills - particularly skills that aren't able to be specified with the usual casting agencies?

 

• Will principle actors need to be trained in specific skills? If so, how long will it take, how much will it cost, and where can you find a suitable person to train them?

 

These are just some of the problems that you may encounter.

 

These problems can be particularly challenging if you have a small team, and you’re not accustomed to working on historical productions.

 

That’s where we can help.
