What is the role of costume in Shakespeare production? Shakespeare
and Costume in Practice argues that costume design choices are
central not only to the creation of period setting and the actor's
work on character, but to the cultural, political, and
psychological meanings that the theatre makes of Shakespeare. The
book explores questions about what the first Hamlet looked like in
his mourning cloak; how costumes for a Shakespeare comedy can
reflect or critique the collective nostalgias a culture has for its
past; how costume and casting work together to ask new questions
about Shakespeare and race. Using production case studies of
Hamlet, Much Ado About Nothing, and The Tempest, the book
demonstrates that costume design can be a site of experimentation,
playfulness, and transgression in the theatre - and that it can
provoke audiences to think again about what power, race, and gender
look like on the Shakespearean stage.
