Self explanatory, really - who's ever hurt themselves, what was involved, & whose fault was it?

The Poll-tergeist

We usually run a fairly safe stage at our Musical Society but our recent Camelot production saw more injuries than we would have liked.

1 split open temple from two actors heads colliding in 'Fie on Goodness' bar scene.
Lesson learnt - One of those things, be more careful.

3 minor stab wounds/scrapes (victims were all different actors/in different performances) from small dagger in lancelots escape - same Understudy was combatant in each incident.
Lesson Learnt - Give under-studies more practice - we drilled combat scenes heaps (at times we were very close to audience) - but under-studies didn't get enough practice in thier understudied role.

2 Falls One on Stage and one during jump off stage.
Lesson Learnt - Don't throw so much water around stage.

For the size of the cast (near 90) that wasn't too bad I suppose, I reckon bump in and bump out are more hazardous.

Cheers
Lance
