oScene 
oCostumes 
oLightning

oGetting everyone on the 
same page 
oChoosing a script
Choosing a Script 
• The director must be 
attractive to the script first 
• Then they will tweak the 
script to their liking 
• Then the director will 
choose the spine of the play 
• For our play we decided to 
stick to the original 
manuscript.

be chosen based on 
oVoice 
oLooks 
oExperience 
oIf they fit the Part
Casting 
• Julius Caesar Brutus Antony Cassius Cicero 
• Octavius Casca Calpurnia Portia Flavius
Theme 
• The theme of the play sets the 
mood and what the director 
wants the audience to get from 
the play 
• For our production we want 
blood, murder and betrayal to be 
the central part of the play
Style (Lights) 
• We want lighting that will attract 
audience’s attention. To 
highlight the play set and the 
action on stage 
• Lights that will be used are 
• Floodlights 
• Beam 
• Color lights
Style (Costumes) 
Costume Design will be 
authentic to the period of 
44B.C Rome. 
Tunica 
Toga 
Peplos 
Stola
Directional Concept 
• Finally the character will add his 
own concepts to make the play 
experience unique. 
• For our play we want to the 
audience to feel like they are 
watching the events live 
• So we will add as much realism 
to the play’s costume, set 
design, lighting, sound and 
character casting.
Costumes
Men 
Tunica 
• Short woolen undergarment with short sleeves [1] 
• Originally worn by the working class plebeians, 
freedmen, and slaves, but could be worn by 
anyone [1] 
Toga 
• Large cumbersome robe-like garment of white 
wool [1] 
• Only actual citizens were allowed to wear a toga 
[1]

in a toga [3]
• Toga virilis: plain, unadorned toga made in off-white color—worn by any adult male [1] 
• Toga praetexta: off-white toga with a broad purple border—reserved for senators and 
curule magistrates such as consuls [1] 
• Toga pulla: dark toga worn strictly in times of mourning [1] 
• Toga candida: artificially whitened toga worn by candidates for political office—white 
signifies purity for the election, and it was supposed to help the candidates stand out from 
the crowd [1] 
• Toga picta: special all-purple toga embroidered with gold thread—worn by a Roman general 
during a triumphal parade [1] 
• Julius Caesar later adopted it as part of his regular dress, and the emperors followed suit by 
using this type during many state [1]

Women 
Peplos 
• Similar to the Greek Chiton [1] 
• Made from two rectangular pieces of cloth partially sewn 
together on both sides with the open sections at the top 
folded down in the front and back [1] 
• Pulled over the head and fastened with two 
large pins, forming a sleeveless dress [1] 
• A belt was then tied over or under the 
folds [1] 
Stola 
• Married women were required to wear this loose toga-equivalent 
[1] 
• Long, sleeveless tunic strapped at the 
shoulder, gathered in and girdled at 
the waist—the garment extended to 
the feet [1] 
• The pulla was a sort of shawl to throw 
over the whole figure and to be worn 
outdoors [1]

Shoes 
Calceus 
• Sandal-like shoe strapped to the 
foot [1] 
• Mainly for internal wear [1] 
Soleae 
• Full shoe completely enclosing 
the foot [1] 
• Much more similar to the 
modern shoe [1] 
Calceus [7] Soleae [8]
Crowns/wreaths 
• Adopted by the Romans from the Greeks and the Spartans [9] 
• Originally meant to crown winners of Olympic 
games [9] 
• Circular ornaments worn on the head [9] 
• Made from a variety of materials including gold, 
silver, leaves, and flowers [9] 
• Referred to as a “corona” (crown) or “sertum”

LIGHTS
STAGE LIGHTING 
• A theatrical tool that: 
‒ Attract audience’s attention 
‒ Highlight the play set 
‒ Advance the actions onstage 
‒ Tell location and time of the day
• Show the imposing of 
Rome and Julius Caesar-the 
great man of the 
people 
• Enhance audience’s 
experience in feeling the 
foreboding omen, 
violently providential 
storms, bloody ritualistic 
assassination, smoke and 
flames, gruesome 
apparitions and the 
enraged blaze of civil 
discord and war.
COLORS and LEVELS of LIGHTING 
• Primary colors: White, Yellow, Blue, Red, and the mix of these 
• Should “mix-match” and enhance the scenery, costumes, and make-up 
effects 
In accordance with the play plot: 
• Beginning of the play: fresh, bright and shine colors (White, Yellow, Blue) to 
show the bright future of Caesar and Rome 
• When Caesar dies: bold, darker color, fading lights 
• When the conspirators all die: extremely dark red, bloody coverage to 
indicate the tragedies and push the story to climax. Then light fades until 
completely reaches darkness…
LIGHTING INSTRUMENTS USE 
• Floodlights - to show mood changes throughout the play (least 
expensive instruments due to simple construction and few 
complicated parts) 
• Spotlights - to focus on specific Characters (when a monologue or 
dialogue is undertaken) 
• Other instruments
FLOODLIGHTS 
• Strip lights: a row of small floods arranged in 
either three or four circuits so that every third or 
fourth lamp is on the same circuit. 
• Far-cycs and Cyc floods: Four floodlights arranged 
in a rectangular array. Each individual bay is a 
separate circuit. 
• Beam projectors: Floods using a parabolic 
reflector, which project a very compact parallel 
beam similar to a narrow spotlight. 
• PAR Units (PAR-cans): a self-contained Parabolic 
Aluminized Reflector and lamp combination with 
some rudimentary lensing built into the front to 
shape the beam, and placed in a tin-can to contain 
some of the spill.
SPOTLIGHTS 
• PC Spots: A lamp with a spherical reflector in 
back and a Plano-Convex lens on the front. 
• Fresnel: a modified PC-Spot, has a spherical 
reflector like a PC, but uses a Fresnel Lens 
instead. 
• Ellipsoidal Reflector Spotlight: uses an ellipsoidal 
reflector with a PC lens or lenses in front. Most 
efficient spotlight type, can illuminate well from a 
distance.
OTHER INSTRUMENTS 
• box/housing 
• light source 
• lens or opening 
• Reflectors 
-> support a better creation, control and monitor of lighting effects
ILLUSTRATIONS 
Shakespeare Theatre Company’s 2008 
production of “Julius Caesar” 
• Spotlight focus on the 
main actors/actions in 
one particular scene to 
guide audience’s 
attention toward the 
actors/actions 
• Other areas of the stage 
will have less or no 
lights to hinder the less 
important part of the 
act
ILLUSTRATIONS 
“The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones…” 
- Julius Caesar, Act III, Scene II 
(Lights get darker when tragedy happens)
EXAMPLES FROM PAST PRODUCTIONS 
Sam Troughton and Hannah Young in Julius Caesar 2013
Sets Design
Types of Theatres 
• Proscenium - Entire audience benefits from the single direction. 
• Thrust - Audience surrounds the stage, allowing one side to serve as a background. 
• Arena - Audience surrounds the stage on all four sides, allowing for better sightline.
Proscenium Theatre 
• The proscenium stage would 
give the audience the best 
experience for our 
interpretation of Shakespeare’s 
“Julius Caesar”. 
• Allows for the set changes that 
this play requires. 
[2]
The Senate 
• Large Auditorium-esque 
• Built to match the period 
• Large columns and Roman 
statues 
[3]
Streets of Rome 
• Busy 
• People noisily talking 
• Lively 
• Roman buildings as the 
background 
[4]
The Battlefield 
• Open field 
• Soldiers 
• Soldiers in the distance 
[5]
[7]
Ruling Metaphor 
• The ruling metaphor for our production 
will be bloody hands 
• All the conspirators had blood on their 
hands 
[6]

  • 20. STAGE LIGHTING • A theatrical tool that: ‒ Attract audience’s attention ‒ Highlight the play set ‒ Advance the actions onstage ‒ Tell location and time of the day
  • 21. • Show the imposing of Rome and Julius Caesar-the great man of the people • Enhance audience’s experience in feeling the foreboding omen, violently providential storms, bloody ritualistic assassination, smoke and flames, gruesome apparitions and the enraged blaze of civil discord and war.
  • 22. COLORS and LEVELS of LIGHTING • Primary colors: White, Yellow, Blue, Red, and the mix of these • Should “mix-match” and enhance the scenery, costumes, and make-up effects In accordance with the play plot: • Beginning of the play: fresh, bright and shine colors (White, Yellow, Blue) to show the bright future of Caesar and Rome • When Caesar dies: bold, darker color, fading lights • When the conspirators all die: extremely dark red, bloody coverage to indicate the tragedies and push the story to climax. Then light fades until completely reaches darkness…
  • 23. LIGHTING INSTRUMENTS USE • Floodlights - to show mood changes throughout the play (least expensive instruments due to simple construction and few complicated parts) • Spotlights - to focus on specific Characters (when a monologue or dialogue is undertaken) • Other instruments
  • 24. FLOODLIGHTS • Strip lights: a row of small floods arranged in either three or four circuits so that every third or fourth lamp is on the same circuit. • Far-cycs and Cyc floods: Four floodlights arranged in a rectangular array. Each individual bay is a separate circuit. • Beam projectors: Floods using a parabolic reflector, which project a very compact parallel beam similar to a narrow spotlight. • PAR Units (PAR-cans): a self-contained Parabolic Aluminized Reflector and lamp combination with some rudimentary lensing built into the front to shape the beam, and placed in a tin-can to contain some of the spill.
  • 25. SPOTLIGHTS • PC Spots: A lamp with a spherical reflector in back and a Plano-Convex lens on the front. • Fresnel: a modified PC-Spot, has a spherical reflector like a PC, but uses a Fresnel Lens instead. • Ellipsoidal Reflector Spotlight: uses an ellipsoidal reflector with a PC lens or lenses in front. Most efficient spotlight type, can illuminate well from a distance.
  • 26. OTHER INSTRUMENTS • box/housing • light source • lens or opening • Reflectors -> support a better creation, control and monitor of lighting effects
  • 27. ILLUSTRATIONS Shakespeare Theatre Company’s 2008 production of “Julius Caesar” • Spotlight focus on the main actors/actions in one particular scene to guide audience’s attention toward the actors/actions • Other areas of the stage will have less or no lights to hinder the less important part of the act
  • 28. ILLUSTRATIONS “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones…” - Julius Caesar, Act III, Scene II (Lights get darker when tragedy happens)
  • 29. EXAMPLES FROM PAST PRODUCTIONS Sam Troughton and Hannah Young in Julius Caesar 2013
  • 31. Types of Theatres • Proscenium - Entire audience benefits from the single direction. • Thrust - Audience surrounds the stage, allowing one side to serve as a background. • Arena - Audience surrounds the stage on all four sides, allowing for better sightline.
  • 32. Proscenium Theatre • The proscenium stage would give the audience the best experience for our interpretation of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar”. • Allows for the set changes that this play requires. [2]
  • 33.
  • 34. The Senate • Large Auditorium-esque • Built to match the period • Large columns and Roman statues [3]
  • 35. Streets of Rome • Busy • People noisily talking • Lively • Roman buildings as the background [4]
  • 36. The Battlefield • Open field • Soldiers • Soldiers in the distance [5]
  • 37. [7]
  • 38. Ruling Metaphor • The ruling metaphor for our production will be bloody hands • All the conspirators had blood on their hands [6]
