As well as helping the audience to understand information about the character and the performance as a whole, performers can find it easier to 'become' their character once they try their costume on. Costumes can:

provide the audience with basic information about a character, such as their age, gender, occupation and economic and social background

reveal lots of information about a character's personality, eg a vain character might wear a flamboyant outfit to draw attention to themselves, while a shy character might wear plain clothes in dull colours

reveal information about a character's circumstances within the play, helping to tell their story, eg a character might begin the play wearing smart clothes but by the end of the play their costume might look creased and untidy to help communicate their journey and what they have experienced

Conveying the context of the play

Costumes can also convey the context of the play, including the time period and geographical setting, following fashions and styles that evolve from one decade to the next. Performers wearing dinner jackets, bow ties and top hats could suggest the historical setting of the piece before any dialogue is spoken. Through local cultural dress or references to the climate, costume design can also help to convey the geographical setting of a play.

Supporting the style

Costumes support the overall style of a production, along with the other design elements. If a production is naturalistic in style, then costumes should be realistic and recreate everyday life. However, a pantomime , which is far more theatrical, would feature grand and colourful costumes to support the overall style of the show.

The set helps show where and when the story of a play takes place, while also conveying meaning to the audience.

Conveying setting

The most essential aspect of set design is to show the audience where the action takes place, which might be as general as a country or as specific as a room within a house.

Conveying period

As well as conveying the setting, the set design should suggest the period of the play. For example, a play set in a living room in the 1970s could feature yellow and browns within the patterned walls and floors and large retro furniture associated with the era.

Communicating themes or symbols

The set design can also communicate abstract concepts, such as and . As an example, a design could include a large, dead tree to suggest the themes of death and decay.

Interacting with other design elements

Set is one aspect of a show's visual and it needs to line up with the other design elements, eg costume design and lighting design, to create a cohesive overall style.

Supporting style of production

Set design is also important in supporting the style of the production. For example, a play in a style would aim to create the impression of reality through realistic-looking and set items. A play performed in a style would use just a few, simple props to represent a setting, such as a large, suspended window frame to suggest the performer is standing inside a grand manor house.

Creating mood and atmosphere

Conveying the time period

Conveying time of day

Sound effects can be used to help establish the time of day. A scene set in the early morning might feature the sound of birdsong, while a scene at night could use the sound of crickets chirping.

Communicating themes or symbols

Music and sound can be used to communicate thematic or ideas. For example, where power is the central theme of a play, strong and dramatic classical music with a heavy sound might be used.

Influencing pace

Music can influence pace on stage. For example, a fast piece of music with a pulsing drum and bass rhythm will energise a scene.

Communicating a character's personality

Some plays use a musical theme or to represent a character on stage. This can be subtle but at times is very obvious, eg a thunder sound effect and tense music when a villain enters the stage in a .
