The siblings: Laertez & Ohpelia

 

  • L: the all black shows the darkness that         overcome Laertes.

  • O: is given a white and simple gown               resembling her naive feelings for               Hamlet that lead her to her death

 

 

King Claudius

The armour on his right hand shows all the power and fortitude that the king has over the other characters. It shows how he wants power and how much he will fight for it.

 

 

Ensemble

The overall theme of other characters of the play is simpler, more discrete, non- attention grabbing clothing . This type of clothing was chosen because it allows the characters to show the level of significance they have next to the main characters. They have one or two solid colors, very simple, no accessories, contrasting the outfit King Claudius wears. These outfits makes the audience pay more attention to the main characters, and how important they are.

 

 

Soldiers

All soldiers will have a uniform look as seen to the right of the screen. This costume will also be used for Rosencrantz and Guildenster.
