Full-show costume hire from Thespis Theatrical Costumiers
“Trusted by schools and theatre companies across the UK, Ireland and Europe.”
Following numerous enquiries from theatre companies across the UK and Ireland, we are delighted to announce that The Prince of Egypt is now in development as the next major addition to the Thespis collection.
This promises to become one of our most ambitious costume projects to date.
Designed for schools, youth theatre, colleges and amateur productions, our aim is to create a spectacular full-show wardrobe worthy of one of the most visually breathtaking musicals ever staged.
The collection will take inspiration from the grandeur and scale associated with the original London production, while featuring the distinctive Thespis approach to historical detail, practical theatre design and character-led costuming.
Our Prince of Egypt collection will make its debut during the 2027 season.
The first productions will enjoy exclusive access to this brand-new collection, with the widest availability of costume sizes, accessories and delivery dates.
Register your interest now to give your production the best opportunity to become one of the first companies to bring this spectacular new collection to the stage.
The first gallery images will include:
Principal character costumes
Egyptian royal court costumes
Hebrew ensemble costumes
Priests and ceremonial garments
Military costumes and armour
Jewellery and accessories
Workshop progress photographs
Finished costume details
Please check back as the collection develops.
The Prince of Egypt is unlike any musical we have previously undertaken.
From the splendour of Pharaoh’s palace to the hardship of the Hebrew slaves, every scene requires a strong and immediate visual contrast.
Our team are researching the clothing, colours, textiles and ceremonial traditions associated with Ancient Egypt and the wider biblical world.
The collection will draw on:
Ancient Egyptian dress
Royal ceremonial clothing
Military uniforms and armour
Hebrew clothing
Priestly garments
Court officials
Workers and artisans
Desert travellers
Midianite clothing
Nomadic and tribal dress
Rich ceremonial textiles
Period jewellery and headwear
As always, our aim is to combine historical inspiration with practical theatrical design that performs beautifully under modern stage lighting.
Journey from the splendour of Ancient Egypt to the shores of the Red Sea in one of the most epic musicals ever written.
Raised together as brothers within the royal household of Pharaoh, Moses and Ramses grow up surrounded by wealth, power and privilege.
When Moses discovers his true identity as a Hebrew, he must choose between the life he has always known and the destiny that awaits him.
Featuring Stephen Schwartz’s soaring score, including When You Believe, The Prince of Egypt tells a timeless story of family, freedom, faith, courage and hope.
Our intention is to create a complete and visually consistent wardrobe for the entire production.

Generally, no.
Thespis specialises in complete full-show costume hire rather than supplying individual costumes.
This ensures visual consistency across the entire production and allows us to maintain the high standards our customers expect.
Unfortunately, we are unable to cherry-pick individual costumes from complete collections, particularly during busy production periods.
Every production is supplied ready for your wardrobe team.
Costumes arrive:
Named in individual garment bags
On hangers
Fully barcoded
Pre-sorted by character
Pre-sorted by scene where appropriate
Simply transfer them onto your wardrobe rails and you're ready to begin.

Weekend and evening deliveries or collections can often be arranged to fit around your rehearsal schedule or theatre availability.
Please mention this when making your enquiry and we'll always do our best to help.
We offer several payment options, including bank transfer and PayPal.
If you prefer to pay by PayPal, simply let us know and we'll provide a secure payment link.
Photographs will be added progressively as principal costumes, ensemble costumes and accessories are completed.
Companies who register their interest will be among the first to receive updates and be notified when new images are added to the website.
All Thespis costume collections are supplied on a 10 calendar day hire, including weekends and Bank Holidays.
This gives most productions ample time for delivery, technical rehearsals, performances and collection.
Need the costumes for longer? Just let us know when completing the enquiry form, and we'll be happy to discuss the options available.
