Abstract Details

1998, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Theatre.
The purpose of this paper is to document the costume design and production process for The Ohio State University Department of Theatre's 1998 production of Fortunes of the Moor, a new script by Barbara and Carlton Molette, directed by Dr. Anthony Hill. Told from an Afro-centric point-of-view, the play dealt with the issues of religion, slavery, cultural differences, and the "noble savage." The story was set in the late sixteenth century and centered on a custody battle over the interracial child born to Othello and Desdemona. The problem set forth was to tell the story in a presentational West African method of storytelling from the perspective of the Africans which reflected how they imagined the Venetian culture. Included in this document are a discussion of the producing situation, the production concept and design scheme, a character analysis, the process of mounting the production, and an evaluation of the completed project.
