In Costume

A costume lets you be transformed Into a different being. Your insides feel as unfamiliar As the parts you’re seeing. Just a wig or make-up Or some clothes you’d rarely wear Can construct a new persona With few aspects that you share. Thus, a costume also liberates, Allowing you to try Behaviors, looks and accents Which in life you’d not apply. An actor understands this When preparing for a part, For the costume gives a hint to where Portrayals might just start.
