In honour of St Andrew’s Day, Creative Director Louise Nicolson and seamstress Niamh Laffan of Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers and Loullymakes present lead Laura Pick, who will play ‘Elphaba’ this festive season, with a bespoke tartan cape made especially in honour of the opening of the Wicked 2023-2025 tour.
The production flies back to the Edinburgh Playhouse from Thursday 7 December 2023 to Sunday 14 January 2024 where more than 125,000 tickets have already been sold. Remaining tickets are available at www.atgtickets.com/Edinburgh.
🌟 The cape will be displayed at the Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers shop on St. Mary’s Street from 14 December until the end of the run. 🌟
Inspired by the character ‘Elphaba’, House of Emerald, the bespoke tartan named for this cape only, features green and black to represent her skin and costume, with the line of white a nod to Glinda.
“When we heard Wicked was coming to the Edinburgh Playhouse, it seemed like such an exciting opportunity to make a tartan cape in honour of Wicked. Tartan has been around for centuries, with a clear association to Scotland. It’s a checked pattern; it can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Some tartans are very ancient in their backgrounds, and some are very modern. It’s a living part of our culture.” – Louise Nicolson, Creative Director of Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers
Laura Pick (Elphaba) continues: “The wonderful women of weaving meet the wonderful women of Oz! Wow, this House of Emerald cape and hat are so beautiful - what a fantastic partnership to celebrate Wicked opening just after St Andrews Day here in Scotland”
