seeking props (brick wall and more)
Sun, 1 Aug 2010, 12:45 pmA lad in sane productions are on the hunt for props for our November production. We can of course make our own, but why invent wheels if wheels are already in existence? The props required are:
BRICK WALL - not a real one, but a stand alone prop that looks real, preferably painted by Mr Tim Prosser or someone of Tim's ilk, if there is such a being. Size = roughly 2 metres wide, height minimum 1 metre, max 2/3 metres. Not being fussy (ha!), but if the bricks look like they come from a council estate in London, even better.
WALL / WINDOWS - not being very technical, I'm best describing the purpose of this prop, and those more technically orientated than I, =99.9% of the planet, can put a name to it. Imagine if you can, a five storey housing estate in London (are you with me so far?) From the audience perspective, picture 2 windows (1.5M W X 2M H(wooden frames) seperated by a rendered brick section approx 2 metres square. Our actor is required to open the imaginary window (I don't know about you, but I'm completely lost) and climb out onto a thin ledge running along the rendered section. The idea we're trying to present is said man standing 5 storeys up ready to jump to his death. So we need to give him a bit of height for effect, I was thinking 2 metres??...so we've got to come up with how to balance the thing, taking into account that 2 additional actors will stand at the windows trying to talk him down...I fear if I add any more that I shall make myself out to be more technically inept than I am already....over to the technicians in ITA land...and anyone who might just have such a prop lounging out the back of their theatre...
