A study of twelfth century costumes and their adaptation for a stage production of Macbeth

In the fall of 1971, this writer undertook a creative project in costume design for the play Macbeth and met with the director to discuss the production concept. The director specified his particular costume requirements, and the designer researched the late eleventh and twelfth centuries to determine salient features of the historic dress. The designer again conferred with the director, and a collaboration of ideas resulted in costumes primarily reflective of the late eleventh and late twelfth centuries. During production in April of 1972, a committee of faculty members and students evaluated the costumes, which were judged favorably. Specific reference has been made to the validity of costume evaluations in general, and recommendations for future projects in costume design have been discussed.
