National Theatre

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.
