"...thus Wall away doth go." Thanks for looking for it. Will be fun though to
make one from scratch.

Bob. The wall apparently is no more. It was tossed for being moldy
(which coincidentally is the name of the character I'm playing in
Henry iv).
There is some tragic lesson here.

Love love love the idea of graffiti and such on
"wall"--which I
think can be
as simple as a sheet of cloth, or as Terry suggested a "canvas brick
wall"
how wonderful!! Terry would you mind graffiti on your canvas brick
wall or
should we (or can we--it would probably be great fun) make a new
one??....

Subject: Re: [Weeklong-l] pesky costumes
"Nay then, let the devil wear black, for I'll have a suit of
sables!" Here
are my thoughts on costumes:
1. I'm fine with the original concept of a costume consisting of a
top and
bottom of the same color--white, black or khaki--and I'm equally
comfortable
with Jayne's suggestion below of ANY combination of those three
colors with
flexibility on type (e.g., t-shirts, dresses, etc.). For my
costume, I was
thinking of a pair of black cotton yoga pants, which seem to have a
timeless
quality and are comfortable, and a black cotton shirt. But a
cautionary note
about khaki--the Wikipedia entry (yea, Mike!) for that color
identifies no
fewer than thirteen shades or variants. If you choose khaki, choose
wisely.
2. I also have no problem with plundering the costume stash at
Winedale but
do confess an ineptitude in the sewing department. When we did
Hamlet in
1983, I think either John Rando or Brian Foster (or maybe Mark
Bouler) saw
me sitting in front of a sewing machine and said "'Seams,' Madam.
Nay, ...I
know not 'seams'"
3. I would prefer a bit of flexibility as to footwear choices but
that may
be because my sandals are really ugly.
4. On the subject of costumes, I welcome input as to Tom Snout's wall
costume. Living in Brooklyn, I find it hard to imagine a wall
without at
least some graffiti and signage and thought it might be fun to have
such
stuff on on the wall, e.g., "PUCK!" or "Queen Mab Wuz Here" or
"DOC
ROCKS!"
and perhaps a reproduction of an old Winedale poster, an ad for
Shiner Beer,
etc. Don't want to overdo it and maybe it's better to stick with
just a
plain ole wall, but let me know what you think.
Bob

Black/white/khaki sounds good to me as a backdrop for adornments.
But instead of tights or leggings and a top in one color, my vote
would be
for ANY combination of the three colors and INCLUDE skirts and pants
and
t-shirts, etc. For instance, a black skirt paired with a white top;
khaki
pants and black t-shirt; a white dress; black pants and black top;
whatever.
Seems like most of us could pull our costumes together from basics
in our
own closets and then find the adornments when we get there. That
would make
it easy.
Mary is right, there was no formal discussion of costumes. The idea
for the
fabric swatches came from an informal side discussion Kathy and I
had. I
think Kathy might have talked with a few of the committee members
about it?
I'm bringing the fabric whether we use it or not. But I think some
of it
will be great - easy capes, tablecloths, headscarves, etc. And NO
SEWING!
To recap: Any combination of white, black, khaki. Pants, skirts, t-
shirts,
other tops, dresses, etc. That's my vote. But I'll go along with the
crowd!
Jayne

Dear Ancianos,
The Oracle's Vestal Virgins are now asking for a vote!
We wanted just pants for men and pants or leggings for women, and
minimal
other adornments to suggest character (hats, scarves, yes, boots),
in order
to have as must time as possible to work on scenes, thus avoiding
choosing a
costume and then altering, washing, ironing, hemming, taping ... it
also
grew from the notion we all 21 seemed to like that we might all be
on stage
as much as possible, to serve whatever purpose might be needed: crowd,
servants, nobles, becoming a... door, etc. This seemed an exciting
idea, but
we are not saying we'll do that, just reminding everyone of the idea.
Choosing owe you for those tights? (Well, you may want to use them,
after
all.) We've realized the committee has had weeks to mull over the
idea of
some uniformity underlying choices of accessories and props, but all
of us
have not discussed it, so let's do so!
We want to play. We don't want to worry about costumes!!!
