HAMLET
Costume Design
“And Vandy Scoates’ costuming of the members of the mental ward is plain, simple and rather mismatched; Just as one could expect in such a vast place that shows small hope and smaller cures!”

The Gangbuster's Theatre company production of Hamlet was set in a mental institution. The play starts with Hamlet being given his pills and when the nurse (Gertrude) and Doctor (Claudius) turn their backs, he promptly spits them out. The play then starts to unravel through the hallucination of Hamlet. The characters in the play are both hospital staff as well as patients.
