The cast of Look Back in Anger in costume. This scene is set in oppressive summer heat, making short sleeves a requirement.

Allison's costumes take on the themes and colours of the other characters in the show. In the first scene, she is wearing Jimmy's pajama shirt, while her blue church dress represents Helena's influence over her.
