The events depicted in The Lost Colony took place during the Elizabethan era in England. The term, “Elizabethan Era” refers to the English history of Queen Elizabeth I’s reign (1558–1603). Historians often depict it as the golden age in English history and it’s been widely romanticized in books, movies, plays, and TV series. The Elizabethan age is considered to be a time of English renaissance that inspired national pride through classical ideals, international expansion, and naval triumph.

This English Renaissance saw the flowering of poetry, music and literature. The era is most famous for theatre, as William Shakespeare and many others composed plays that we still read and watch today. It was also an age of exploration and expansion abroad to establish colonies under English rule across the globe, including in The New World, to further England’s empire.

Restoration-era plays, which were predominant in Britain, were heavily influenced by the rule of King Charles II, who encouraged restoration comedy to include sexually explicit language and crude jokes. In addition, restoration comedy had a wide audience, including aristocrats and middle-class individuals, as well as servants and other lower-class people. This era was characterized by a high quantity of diversity in both the audience and content of plays. This era occurred after the extremely religious and authoritarian Puritan regime in Britain, where stage performances were banned from 1642-1660, was lifted. This era saw the popularization of comedy of manners, which was a type of comedy that was both satirical and realistic. The much more progressive post-puritan values led to the first female actors, such as Maragaret Hughes and Nell Gwyn. At the end of this period, the witty and sexual comedy began to fall out of favor with the replacement of King James II by his daughter Mary II and dutch husband William III, neither of whom liked theatre.

The common places for Kathakali to be performed are open spaces in a village or a town or often in front of a temple. The acting focuses on a large oil lamp which is placed right in the foreground of the performance. The makeup of Kathakali each has different The five major Veshams in Kathakali are Kathi (Knife), Pacha (Green), Thaadi (Beard), Minukku (radiant), and Kari (Black). The representation of Kathi is arrogant and evil, however, with a vein of gallantry. Pacha is used to portray noble male characters like kings and divine beings. Thaadi has three distinct types which are, chuvanna thadi (red beard) vella thadi (white beard), and karutha thadi (black beard). The red beards are vicious and excessively evil characters. Their faces are mainly painted half black and half red. The white beard represents a higher type of being. The black beards are the character types in which black predominates in make-up and costume. These are the primitive beings - the wild hunters and forest dwellers. Minukku symbolizes gentleness and high spiritual qualities (like saints), which are in sharp contrast to the other four veshams. Kari is used for demonic characters, portraying the most gruesome figures on the Kathakali stage. Their faces are jet-black with dotted red and white markings on them.

One of the most advanced additions to the stage that emerged during this time was the use of technology both structurally and visually. Inigo Jones introduced the concept of moving scenery and the “proscenium arch” to English theatre.

Reinterpretation of older plays that were often turned into semi-operas with singing, dancing, and special effects.

Shakespeare's plays were the most commonly used.

The addition of women in theater was greatly received and allowed suggestive scenes to become more open and raunchy, a quality well suited to the public's taste of the time.

Davenant’s Macbeth and Shadwell’s Tempest became two of the most popular plays of the period precisely because of their special effects, music, and dance: the witches in Macbeth famously flew on and off, requiring flight ‘machines’ with ropes and wires; and the first stage direction in Shadwell’s Tempest, which seeks to represent the storm conjured up by Prospero, stipulates 24 violins and “Several Spirits in horrid shapes flying down amongst the Sailors, then rising and crossing in the Air”.

The makeup and costumes of Greek theatre were unique, vibrant, and engaging. The Greek theatre makeup was filled with colorful and bright details. Some would wear masks in place of makeup, or paint their whole faces in paint and add more makeup to make it more detailed. The masks were made of linen, leather, wood, or cork. Some masks had hair, and that hair was from humans or animals.

The costumes worn were old traditional Greek outfits, which were made of natural fibres. Linen was commonly used because of the hot climate, which lasted most of the year. They also acted in costumes with silk or wool because that is what Greeks wore when it was cold.
