The book explores questions about what the first Hamlet looked like in his mourning cloak; how costumes for a Shakespeare comedy can reflect or critique the collective nostalgias a culture has for its past; how costume and casting work together to ask new questions about Shakespeare and race. Using production case studies of \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMuch Ado About Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/i\u003e, the book demonstrates that costume design can be a site of experimentation, playfulness, and transgression in the theatre – and that it can provoke audiences to think again about what power, race, and gender look like on the Shakespearean stage.  \u003c\/p\u003e                \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-12-24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030571511\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-57149-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 215\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47692842401932,"sku":"9783030571511","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030571511.jpg?v=1776698531","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030571511","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
