Description
Bora Aksu staged a haunting at St. Paul’s Church, channeling Sukie—an 18th-century barmaid murdered at a Buckinghamshire inn—into a two-act ghost story. First, her working wardrobe: crystal suits, sheer skirt-trousers, and velvet puffers. Then, as Alison Sudol’s chorus wailed from the altar, Sukie emerged in spectral form—gossamer capelets, blood-red poppies on black dresses, and a closing bridal gown with roses caught in its veil. Aksu gave her the dignity in death she was denied in life.
