Participants investigated the role that clothing played in helping actors transform into the Bard’s unique, unforgettable characters.​

Actual Elizabethan garb on loan from the Folger Shakespeare Library provided the backdrop for Tietze’s interactive workshop, which was part of the Lewes Library’s September weeklong celebration of the life, times, and works of the Bard.
