Othello Play - Clothing

There will be several actors in a position where they are all performing one role in the school play 'Othello' by William Shakespeare, so a certain attire has to be worn by the actors with one feature that will distinguish the role of each character. Preferably, all actors will wear a black t-shirt with black trousers. The following items will be worn or carried around by actors performing certain roles to represent them:

- Othello: Carries a rifle (as he is the head of the military)
- Iago:
- Desdemona: Wears a flower on her head
- Cassio: Carries a book as he is very educated
- Roderigo: Carries around an expensive looking walking stick because he is rich
- Emilia: Wears an apron
- Bianca: Wears a big shiny necklace
- Montano carries around a scroll to symbolise the government
- Announcers: Wear dark robes and each carry a lit candle to look mysterious
