Since Egea is a noble Athenian from Greece, she and all the other Athenians will wear toga's because it is a traditional garment of Greece. A toga is sort of a white sheet that wraps around your body so it looks like a dress once it is draped upon a persons body. It was a semicircular length of cloth about 12 and 20 feet long. This costume not only showing the Greek culture but it also gives the character Egea a high statues as it was considered a noble garment.
Snug's Costume:
Since Snug is apart of the mechanicals and it probably one of the lowest statues characters, she is not going to be in the toga's like the Athenians. Instead she is in a matching set of waist coat and shorts that are white and blue striped and a yellow strips on the side. With this she shall wear a bright yellow to underneath her out fit. The reason she is wearing yellow is because in children's theatre, most characters will have bright colours and costumes to make it eye catching for the children. Also the yellow will also match the lion's main that she must wear for the play with in the play. The lion's main in a hat with orange, gold and yellow string attached to it that will match with the yellow colours already on her costume.
Sparks's Costume:
Since Sparks is a part of the stage crew, she is going to be wearing a black pair of dungarees, with a colourful top underneath and a pair of trainers. This costume symbolises the handyman job aspect but it also has a hint of colour that will be suitable for the children's theatre style. Also she will have a head set which will also link to her job title. for her hair I thought that i would have two backcombed pigtails on each side of my head to show a more childish nature to my character and some spiky hair ties that sort of look like sparks which will be wrapped around my pigtails.
