The file contains set and costume designs. Some of the costumes are in the style of British colonial wear and as such use natural, muted colours whilst others are hooligan style using black, red, white and blue but with Greek style motifs on them . They are annotated by character name and some with extra details for example, 0698 'emerging from tent' which also shows the action occurring. There are also designs for Greek style creatures for example, 0753-4 [with and without animal skin, the latter ahs a colour test attached] and for groups for example, 0711. The set included a round central design motif and the file contains several alternatives, of note is 0722 which features a mosaic like picture of a lady and is drawn on a grid to show dimensions [see 0731 for a coloured version]. The design uses rich shades of red and gold. 0749-51 shows a second design in alternative colours; bright pink on black and white and bright orange on black and white.
