The ultimate goal of Twisted Tales is to find humor in the history and works of Shakespeare and the intention of the costumes is to assist in the success of that endeavor. Actors will quickly change accessories in order to indicate a character change and these accessories will play on a phrase or quirk about each character. The actors will wear one costume throughout the entire show and these costumes are intended to look period, but don't belong to any one particular period, as if a community theatre threw them together with what resources they had. There will be a lot of pattern clashing in these costumes in order to make them look truly thrown together, but the palette will be neutral in order to create some visual balance and so as not to overwhelm the eye with bright colors. Really, we want to make the characters look ridiculous enough that it’s funny, but not so ridiculous that the audience doesn’t believe the choices being made by these Very Serious Actors.
