Peter Cushing
keeps pushing

for a reshoot
says his suit

feels out of character
yes – he’s an actor

but everyone has their limit
and HE’S reached HIS, goddammit

the director shouts take ten people
puts his fingers in a steeple

Pete he says we’ve talked about this
we really can’t afford another wardrobe crisis

talk to Chris – he’s a cheery sorta bloke
he seems to be coping despite the cloak

take it as a challenge; van Helsing of Mayfair!
oxford brogues, sharp threads, pince-nez and long grey hair!

Pete says I accept the prof in a stovepipe hat
but I draw the line at a fucking silk cravat
