Creating Magic on stage...

With the play, mortal characters should have a natural look to off set the look of the Faerie Kingdom. Using pictures of faerie paintings, we can see that the faeries have an other world appearance to them. By bringing in an irridecence and brighter colors, the look of the faeries can be achived. In many different productions of the play, this look can be overdone and start to look bad. Less is more when it comes to this look.

For the mortals, the use of neutral colors and pale hues work best to create that difference between them.
