Shakespeare and Costume in Practiceargues 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. 410 0$aShakespeare in practice. 606 $aTheater$xProduction and direction 606 $aClothing and dress in literature 606 $aTheater$xHistory 615 0$aTheater$xProduction and direction. 615 0$aClothing and dress in literature. 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 676 $a822.33 700 $aEscolme$b Bridget$f1964-$0948747 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484947903321 996 $aShakespeare and costume in practice$92845345 997 $aUNINA
