My high school production of Macbeth is slowly moving off the ground. All the parts have been cast - I'm playing Seyton and the Gentlewoman in a trimmed down version of the play. I currently don't know what my drama teacher is looking for in terms of costuming. When he passed out the cast list, he mentioned that Seyton was a version of Hilary Clinton. I certainly don't want to look like this:
But anyway. He has been saying that the show will be set in a post apocalyptic setting, so my costume may be more difficult than just a plain suit. My gentlewoman costume I'll bet will have to be similar, considering that I have a really quick change back into Seyton, unless our director fiddles with the story and makes it not linear. I just don't understand what a modern day servant to a King or Queen looks like. Hmm.
Update 2/28: The director has consolidated my two parts, so I am Seyton the entire show. That makes things so much easier. I found a of couple dresses and a blazer at Target this weekend, so I'll have to bring them in in a few weeks and see which works best. I think pants and a blazer might work better because of all the movement involved.
