Ane Crabtree’s costumes for “The Handmaid’s Tale” convey the repression at the core of the dystopian drama. The Handmaids’ white, hood like bonnets protect them from the gazes of others and function as blinders. “We decided to use [the bonnets] as a vehicle to heighten the cages that they were in mentally, physically, emotionally,” Crabtree said. See this iconic costume in person in “Designs for Different Futures."

I think that Elizabethan actors had an instinctive apprehension of all this. They didn’t have some of the distractions that we have in our day. They depended more than we do on the spoken word. It was like food, and they probably used words much more sensually, almost eating words.

Alan Howard, quoted in John Barton, Playing Shakespeare (via m-l-rio)
