If you are a fan of The Grinning Man, the shop has the Original London Cast recording available on CD, as well themed face masks from the show’s award winning designer, Jon Bausor. 

World-renowned Bristol theatre designer has created a range of clothing through her new sustainable fashion brand, Article Green. All of the cloths are made in Bristol using sustainably produced textiles and are packaged without plastic. She works with a small team of theatre costume makers who have been greatly impacted by the pandemic.
