The document discusses costume design ideas for a play set in winter in the Northeastern US in 2002. It describes the costumes for each character - for example, Maria and Francois wear bathrobes while Jonathan wears casual winter clothes as a young engaged man. The document includes proposed costume sketches and notes that costumes should reflect the modern era setting and account for indoor vs. outdoor scenes. It also describes funeral attire for one act.
2. The sets effect on the Costume
Design
The play is set in the Northeast area woods in 2002
It takes places in Johnathan’s winter vacation home
The fact that the play is set in the modern era has an
overall effect on what the characters would wear
3. Characters (Francois)
• The character of Francois is different from the other
characters in the play in that he try's to dress sexy
• He is French and is for the most part wearing a
bathrobe in the play
• He Marias lover and eventual partner
In this picture Francois
Is demonstrated from the point of
view of a Broadway play, but I would
Say for my point of view this best shows
The costume fit for Francois which is
A bathrobe.
4. Characters(Maria)
• Maria is the mother of Johnathan and she is married to Frank
and her lover is Francois
• Her costume is also a bathrobe but its not like François
because she is not trying to be sexy in front of her son, unlike
François who is trying to be sexy for Maria.
These are the costumes
I would envision the
Maria having on
especially in the
beginning of the play
5. Characters( Johnathan)
• Johnathan is in love with his fiancé Ariel
• In the beginning of the play he is not wearing coat
• His costume would be wintertime men's clothing that is
suited towards a youthful man who is newly engaged
I would design his
clothing/ costume to
include light sweaters,
winter boots, scarf,
and jeans
6. Characters (Ariel)
Ariel is newly engaged to Johnathan
Like Johnathan she is young so her costume should
reflect a young woman's wintertime outfit in the
2000s
She also does not wear a coat in the beginning of
the play
Her costume
should include
winter boots,
winter dress
sweater, scarf
7. All these men are older and would be wearing winter
clothing for there costume but unlike Johnathan it
would consist of heavier clothing like winter jackets
They are in two settings outside and inside
Johnathan's house so there clothing should reflect
when they change setting in the play
Other Men Characters ( Frank,
Edmund, Bob)
8.
Bertha and Hilda are lovers and neighbors of Maria, they
are older women so there winter clothes should not be as
young as Ariel's
Jaqueline is François past lover and is a doctor her clothing
would be a bit younger because she try's to entice other
men
Jaqueline would
wear something
like this as her
costume
Bertha and
Hilda would
wear something
like this as
there costume
9. ACT II FUNERAL
• In Act II the people attend a funeral that turned out
to be fake because Maria did not die, so the
characters are in typical funeral wear for coustume
