What I will consider before I make a performance?

I feel that costumes really play important part in a play. It gives clue to us about the physical setting of the play. For example, if the setting is a battlefield, the actor will wear soldier’s uniform. From the costumes that both actors and actresses wear we can relate it to the time setting of the play. Those days, people dressed differently from us today. If the time setting is during Greek Period, we can see actresses wearing gowns that Greek people used to wear thus the director need to know what type of cloth that is popular during that era. More that that, cultural setting can be conveyed implicitly to us since we can guess what country the play takes place. It also enhances our knowledge about history and geography of the specific places.
