Costume Design and Production for Trojan Women 2.0, by Charles Mee

Simon, Lindsay Amber

Abstract Details

2008, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Theatre.
The purpose of this paper is to document the costume design and production process for Trojan Women 2.0 for The Ohio State University Department of Theatre's 2007-2008 season. Written by Charles Mee and co-directed by Maureen Ryan and Jeanine Thompson, the production ran November 1st through November 17th 2007 at The Ohio State University in the Roy Bowen Theatre. Trojan Women 2.0 is a collage piece based on Euripides' Greek 415 B.C. The Trojan Women, as well as Hector Berlioz' 1863 French opera Les Troyens. Mee's adaptation, however, imagines Troy as a modern metropolis left burning and destroyed in the wake of the Trojan War. He weaves together many iconic images, stories and music from throughout history. The design concept and research have been similarly collaged; taken from a range of areas including ancient Greece, contemporary political hotbed regions (Darfur, Iraq), modern pop-culture icons, and haute couture fashion designers.
