Silly Costume Idea For RAGAD

silly costume idea for RAGAD

My friend (who was my Rosencrantz when we did the play for theatre class) and I came up with this idea a while ago, but I forgot to post about it until now. 

Basically Ros and Guil both wear shirts which say their names on the front, but when they turn around, the other name is printed on the back. (For example, Guildenstern’s shirt might say ‘Guildenstern’ on the front, but then he turns around and it says ‘Rosencrantz’). So the shirts don’t actually identify the characters at all. 

And then part way through the play, they decide they are wearing the wrong shirts, so they switch. This is obviously pointless because the shirts have both names on them anyway. 

Finally, one of them thinks his shirt is on backwards so he flips it around. Now they both have the same name on the front. 

This can be obviously used as a comedic element, as well as playing with the theme of identity.

Here's Hamlet! It's smaller than the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern piece, but with more detail. (Plus, I did a big Laertes one at the same time!)

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Because despite everything they do, I can't help but love these two sycophantic morons!
