...early scenes of the play, Costumer Phoebe Faux clothed the characters in World War II-era garments. Only Hamlet, dressed completely in black and his father's ghost, in armor, deviate from this theme. This idea, coupled with interesting staging, gives the text an appealing freshness...
Ross and Gammons' creative touches to the set served to heighten the fine character portrayals. For example, a multi-colored background wall illuminated the performers' outlines during night scenes, making the silhouettes seem particularly imposing.

Get set for an onslaught of films about people waking up and smelling the coffee...

They entered along a stretch of border that began north of Khafji and ended at the town of Umm Hujul...
