Kilt Do's and Don'ts

perhaps the actor merely wishes to look like Sean Connery from the back row.

I've seen Connery in this kilt for this and other 'formal' occasions. He wears white hose with it.

Which is why one should never model one's dress on what is worn by theatrical people.

LOL, no wonder my mother likes to sit in the back row when she goes to the theater

Agreed, agreed. I have been in a number of productions, and I have looked quite scary up close. I guess it is just shocking to see out of context. I only hope no one in such a production would be ignorant enough to see that costume and think "hey, thats all it takes to dress like a highlander".
