Costume designs

To begin with we discussed potential ideas for the costumes of the soldiers. We decided on one of three ideas; traditional Roman centurions, classic English red coats, The Beatles sergeant pepper outfit or modern day military.

After a few discussions this week we ruled out the sergeant peppers and the Roman centurions as they would probably be the hardest costumes to come by. We were pretty much split down the middle as whether to go for the red coats or the modern day military. In the end we had one final discussion and came to conclusion that the modern day 
military would be easier to acquire and work in without having to adapt the scene specifically for the costume.


The Crucifiers
All of the crucifiers will wear a black t-shirt with a camo jacket that I obtained from a member of the cadets unfurchinitly one of the jacits is a difremd patern to the uther to. and black trousers and dark shoes. 

Chief Crucifier
The chief will wear a military beret and a captain mask from the stock characters.

First Crucifier

The first crucifier will be wearing a brighella mask from the stock characters.

Second Crucifier

The second crucifier will be wearing a Zanni mask from the stock characters, the mask will be a pale blue to represent the melancholic tone of the character. At a certain point off stage we will wrap the hands, arms and face in bandages and tying a small piece into a bow around the nose. 

The Fool

Originally we had an idea that the fool could be someone trying to be like the soldiers but getting it wrong; wearing army camo but brightly coloured and wearing dark shorts like the dark trousers of the soldiers but missing the point and probably wearing flip flops. The fool will wear a harlequin mask. We found it hard to find a reasonably priced neon army camo t-shirt so we have considered a few other things. Still keeping the harlequin mask we are going to have the fool in a 'chavvy' tracksuit with a cap. The fool will have bandages wrapped around his arms from wrist to elbow.
