ABSTRACT
The bases of costuming of most plays are inappropriate in Ghana because
some directors are ignorant of what actually goes into costuming. In most
instances, there are a lot of anachronisms where costumes do not march up with
the period and occasion. Also lack of funding for productions, has made directors
and designers handicapped, thereby making use of any available costume. For
fear of being charged high prices, directors sometimes do away with capable
costume designers, and leave the job in the hands of actors, forgetting that
costume goes beyond just wearing a dress on stage.
This thesis project is to provide suitable costumes based on the design
interpretation of the play, the different processes it underwent up to the opening
day. It also gives record of character analysis, design concepts, problems
encountered, and the evaluation of the performance.
