Anyone have some thoughts for how we can do a hanging on stage. We don't want to do anything symbolic, we really want to simulate the hanging of the character. Obviously we don't want to kill our poor maddie! Any ideas? A harness? A step? Is there anything we can do? Has anyone done it before? Its for the final scenes of the book version of And then there were none. Email me at sono_maschile@yahoo.it thanks, adam

Can you add more details

Can you add more details about your venue? I think if we knew whether you had the ability to rig a swing or not would help... Fun puppet patterns to make at home! Puppets to buy at Puppets in Melbourne

Careful

Please do not attempt this without the active involvement of a qualified person. What you are intending to do is the same effectively as flying someone and requires professional involvement by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au
