The Lion In Winter
Pioneer Theatre Company, 2019
“The design for The Lion in Winter is exquisite. Truly, the design team achieves something difficult: combine the modern with the medieval aesthetic. This has been tried before and it often fails, but their work is cohesive and bridges the gap with aplomb…Phillip R. Lowe (Costume Designer) perhaps best blends the modern and medieval with his modern fabrics and footwear choices (some characters even wear sneakers) and a cohesive medieval line. Instead of seeking to be time-period purist, Lowe provides a great connection for the audience between what is happening on stage in 1183 and our contemporary experience.” - Front Row Reviewers
“Phillip R. Lowe‘s costumes are part Game of Thrones and part A Knight’s Tale. The costumes bring vivid color and diverse textures to the medieval silhouettes, reflecting the script’s penchant for anachronism and (director) Grantom’s modern sensibility.” - Utah Theatre Bloggers Association
