Aftermath is a new play about founder of the Rolling Stones Brian Jones' life, work, and early death.
Brian Jones' narrative of the play seems to come from his memories - conjuring George Harrison teaching him how to play the sitar, studio recording sessions, and a trip to Morocco. I wanted to limit costume changes, especially for Brian, so that the fluid narrative would be uninterupted. I chose key scenes and moments for the characters to change costume based on how necessary the costume was to the storytelling.
