Costume designer Jennifer Moeller dusted off the tabards and trains of the round table for the current revival now running at Lincoln Center Theater.
, the legendary tale of medieval love and loss gets a modern refresh that allowed Moeller to reimagine Guenevere beyond the cone hats and courtly frocks associated with the famous queen. “This is a different Guenevere, she has some chutzpah,” explains Moeller.
Guenevere is indeed a combination of many things; soft, strong, passionate, willful…French! And as the story goes, susceptible to the charms of Sir Lancelot which leads to their mutual, and the kingdom’s, undoing. Moeller recalls a particularly instructive early rehearsal where she observed Soo move and felt like she didn’t have to hold back when designing. “Pippa can really work a train.” Soo, in kind, used the weight and stricture of some of her longer gowns to inform her character: “I have to remember I am a queen. I don’t have to move around so much. When she does, it is with grace and ease and knowingness as to why and where she is moving to. She’s the queen!” she says.
One aspect of Guenevere that is not necessarily new to the story but feels recontextualized in this revival, is the character’s self-possessed sensuality. In the unambiguously titled “Lusty Month of May,” she celebrates the giddiness and energy of spring with her young courtiers in a lively maypole dance. For this moment in the show Moeller envisioned a much more light and breezy look. “I wanted it to be frothy. Everything is so heavy and metal and shiny up to that point.
