The production of the Roundabout Theater Company interpreted Janet McTer as Sarah Bernhardt when she decided to tackle the role of all roles: Hamlet. Director Moritz von Stuelpnagel instructed James to create costumes for the rear stage world of Bernhardt and her theater company, as well as their period production of Ham<\/i>;; James had to capture the magnetism and sexuality of Bernhardt in her female clothing as well as in her male hamlet. But James tackled the challenge thanks to her star.<\/p>\n

“Work with Janet … Watch her move in a mirror, actually taught me as a costume designer,” James says in the video above. “She’s just a completed professional, flawless actor, but my goodness really knows her body.”<\/p>\n

James, whose previous nominations include Jelly’s last jam <\/i>and Jitney, <\/i>count Bernhardt\/Hamlet <\/i>If her 20th Broadway credit, including Come from way<\/i>, Chita Rivera: A dancer’s life<\/i>as well as the original production of Footless<\/i> and Angels in America<\/i>.
