Description
Two dolls, Richard and Elizabeth, are accompanied by a wardrobe of 30 elaborately designed period costumes for the characters mentioned above, in addition to Petruchio and Katharina in The Taming of the Shrew, Oberon and Titania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Prospero and Miranda in The Tempest, Beatrice and Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing, Portia and Shylock in The Merchant of Venice, and others. Tights and doublets, floor-length robes, capes, ruffled collars, and tartans are included a number of the gentlemen’s costumes; flowing medieval garments, elegant fur-trimmed gowns, classically draped Greek costumes, and other outfits constitute the women’ wardrobes.
A great strategy to introduce children to Shakespeare and the immortal characters created by the Bard, these dolls and their meticulously detailed costumes can be welcomed by collectors and any person fascinated with the Elizabethan era. Brief synopses of plays are included.
