Just like sports teams or marching bands, the three daughters in King Lear have their own colors.

In many classic stage productions, Goneril wears blue and Regan wears red.

Lear’s favorite, Cordelia, often wears green. Both Lear and Cordelia are usually in white at the end of the play.

Catherine Bruce, Moose Hall Theatre Company’s technical director, has costumes from past Shakespeare plays that might work.

Their production of The Tragedy of King Lear is set in 500 A.D.

Despite it being set so far into the past, the textiles of the time were surprisingly ornate.

“I thought I have to use solid colors and couldn’t use patterns,” she said.

"Para mí, mucho de ello tiene que ver con qué hay disponible, qué sirve, y qué se vé bien", explica Catherine Bruce, directora técnica de Moose Hall Theatre Company; aquí se muestran los vestuarios de Aladdin and the Magic Lamp. Foto: Ted Minos 

Al igual que en los equipos deportivos o las bandas de música, las tres hijas de 'King Lear' tienen sus colores propios.

En muchas producciones teatrales clásicas, Goneril viste de azul y Regan viste de rojo. Con frecuencia, Cordelia, la favorita de Lear, viste de verde. Usualmente, al final de la obra, Lear y Cordelia ambas visten de blanco.

Catherine Bruce, directora técnica de Moose Hall Theatre Company, tiene vestuarios de pasadas obras de Shakespeare que pueden funcionar.

Su producción de The Tragedy of King Lear se remonta a 500 A.D. (500 antes de Cristo).

More than two million new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the United States this year and current estimates are that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
