The Hamlet outfit was created as a response to Shakespeares play. It is however not a costume. The outfit is made of red and white paper which has been painted. There is also a red velvet cloak with it.

It was created in February of '98.

The gold shirt represents royalty.

The flowers on the shirt are Ophelia's flowers.

The falling flowers also represent the disapearing love between Hamlet and Ophelia.

The red sleeves are the blood of the many people who died in the play.

The dagger in the chest is the dagger Hamlet used to kill Polonius, his first murder victim.

The skirt represents Elsinore, Hamlet's home and the set of the play.

The glitter on the left side reflects light and shows the spotlights used in theater.

The red velvet cape is like a curtain; it opens to reveal the set on the stage (the skirt).

On the inside of the sleeves there are quotes from the play written in different types of writing.
