Does any one konw what sort of clothes Lysander wore from Shakespears play a midsummer nights dream?

Question

also any pictures too please

Answer 1

It depends on the production. The play supposedly takes place in ancient Athens. Which means he could be wearing a chi ton and cloak. However, in Elizabethan times, the plays were often performed in current dress, so he may have been wearing hose, doublet, codpiece, etc. As Shake spear's plays are redone over the centuries, directors make all kinds of decisions about where when to set the play. I've seen this particular play set in the late 1890s, what was known as the fin de sicle, and the actors wore trousers, vests, striped shirts and straw boaters (a type of hat). I know there have been productions that have been entirely phantasmagorical. The costumes didn't come from any particular time of place, but were used to suggest a world of fantasy. Each production of a play will be unique.
