I envisage Tesman as middle aged, a little weary and quite bumbly. He is happy, yet oblivious, and Hedda means everything to him.
Cotume:
I would actually use a costume that is imilar to the picture. When he is going out or wearing daily clothes, he would be wearing a suit. It would be a bit battererd and obviously worn out as this would show how little money he has in comparison to Hedda. It would be in a brown or mustard colour as he simply cannot afford anything nicer. his trousers would be of the same colour, but perhaps a different shade, which further shows us his obliviousness and status.
When he was wearing nightclothes, i imagine him wearing a long dressing gown. This would be stained and worn yet again, as this is what he usually wears.
Sound:
I think that is you were putting on a more 'pantomine' version of the play, you could have a plodding, rythmic tune that marks his footsteps. However, if it was more serious, you could just have a more jolly tune that marks his entry.
Lighting:
Finally, I believe that his lighting would be rather like himself- it would be rather patchy in places yet still bright.
