BIG RIVER sets, props & costumes

I have sets for BIG RIVER for sale or hire. Most of it is from the professional Australian touring production which starred Cameron Daddo, John Bell, Marcia Hines, etc. I managed to come up with the original turtle that made the raft move all over the stage, too, and we built a raked stage to handle it. (stage not included, but easily made)

The rest was painstakingly reconstructed from the original blueprints (which I also have), only sized down to fit the Theatre Royal Hobart stage.

Original cloths, etc (stunningly beautiful). Most costumes, shoes, with prof actors names in them (OK, who cares, except it's kinda fun) Some women's costumes missing, but I know where they are (in Sydney)

Props include Pap's corpse which floats downriver, made to look like John English (who was in the first couple of Gordon Frost production tour performances), a great dead pig and more.

I will hire them all, but since I live in Tasmania it may make more sense to buy them to avoid returning them. I guarantee it will be cheaper than making this stuff! (I always manage to get shipping sponsorship & you can too)

Contact me if interested in further discussion.
