William Shakespeare


for the 1959/1960 season at the Old Vic Theatre, London

Reference to the design:

"The medieval atmosphere is constantly being
suggested in this production by a formal arrangement
of the scenes which, with Richard Negri's softly coloured
costumes and imaginative lighting, recall the illuminated
paintings of the period. Characters are formally grouped,
and their movement often gives the impression of a ritual."
