PART I
DESIGNING FOR THE FORTIES AND FIFTIES
one
DESIGN BASICS
Read the Script
Reading the script is the first thing a designer does in the design process. Ideally, I like to read the script three times before meeting with the director and design team. Each read through focuses on different things:
First read through: get the feel of the script, the plot, and the mood of the piece. Even though this read through doesn’t focus on costumes, mark or highlight any part of the script or stage directions referring to costume items. For example, if someone asks the time, then someone is probably wearing a watch.
Second read through: get the feel of the characters – who they are, what they feel. List all the characters and make note of any adjectives you feel describe their character. Decide how the characters fit together – how they relate to each other, who’s braver, angrier, more delicate, etc.
Find the world of these characters – geographical location, historical time period, season, time of day, social levels, social situations, and social occasions.
Use the parts of the script you highlighted in the first read through to list all the practical things a character or costume will need to do – wear a watch, have a pocket to put things in, allow for a wide range of movement – sword fighting, dancing, etc.
Third read through: create the costume plot and costume list
Costume List and Costume Plot
The costume list is a list of all the looks worn by an actor. The costume plot is a chart that tracks what every actor wears in each scene throughout the show.

Break down the scenes for the costume plot whatever way works best for the show. Some scripts are written with clear Act and Scene numbers. French Scenes (where a new scene starts whenever a character enters or leaves stage) work well for Shakespeare and Molière, many musicals work well if you break them down by musical numbers. If actors are playing multiple characters, track their different characters in the plot to alert you to potential quick changes.
Talk Character
Meet with the director to talk about the characters. Go through each character and discuss their personality, who they are, what they want, how and if they change throughout the show. One good way to start this conversation is to list the adjectives you wrote down for each character during your second read thr...
