Costume Ideas.

The Addams Family

After reading the two different stories we were to use my first thoughts were on the Addams family as their general appearance is something I wanted to portray through our performance but I feared people would relate to it too much and maybe it was not the ‘gothic’ type of outfit I was looking for. The Addams family is seen as a comic family and I was also worried that this would come across to the audience.

Even though I did not fully use the Addams family I used a slight influence from the mother figure who is named ‘Morticia’ for the Countess.

I have used hints from this picture such as the similar make up that is used and what clothes she is wearing such as the shirt. I don’t think her character reflects anything I was trying to aim for but the costume is one I wanted to take ideas from.
