AUGH

WHY, RSC, WHY

WHY YOU DO THIS TO DAVID TENNANT IN ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PLAYS BY WILL




Those are some of the worst costuming decisions I have seen in A WHILE, and I'm not just talking about Dickon there. Why is everyone draped in burlap? Why does the armor look so, so....what the hell is Aumerle wearing in that, it looks like a bathrobe and hoodie over a sleep T-shirt, my God.  And did they have no money to spend on a goddamn set? Or even proper lighting?

This is worse than the completely distracting costumes McKellen wore in Edward II and you know, that was 1970, plus at least McKellan wasn't topped off with what someone managed to wrangle out of Farrah Fawcett's 1978 Avon brush set. Christ almighty.
