Design Statement: No Period, Period
The Tragedy of Macbeth (commonly called Macbeth) is a play about a regicide and its aftermath. It is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy and is believed to have been written sometime between 1603 and 1607.
For design inspiration I went to Smith and Edwards to check out the various camouflage styles. I’d had the idea that the military needed to have a camouflage that would be unique to this production. I ended up with a German camo and then over printed it with hand prints to create a one of a kind look in the colors of fall and decaying leaves. The costumes were a mix of modern elements (combat boots) and 11th century chainmail.
