A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM - COSTUME IDEAS
I think that we should expand on the musical side of the play, and even rehearse/ convert some of the lines into short songs for the main characters.
My idea of Theseus is a general in Napoleonic costume and the characters Egeus, Demetrius, Hermia etc…. should also have costumes relating to this era.
The idea I have for the workers are typical working costumes, but when portrayed as Pyramus and Thisbe, their costumes change into something more dramatic and colourful.
I personally believe that A Midsummer Nights Dream should be a colourful affair, and so we, as a team, should incorporate as much extravagant brightness in costume and set designs as possible. I also strongly believe that the play should make use of surreal touches, especially in sudden changes of period costumes, which also allows me and the other diploma students to show off skills developed in the Unit 4 topic based on dreams and reality.
Puck should be dressed in a jester costume to show his mischievous side.
The ideas I have for Oberon and Titania should be the most colourful and impressive. Perhaps a dress resembling the colours of a peacock for Titania, while a mixture of red, gold and white for Oberon’s costume.
Costume ideas for Theseus, Puck and Titania are shown above.
