Take care
Sun, 4 June 2000, 04:53 pmI have heard a very concerning rumour that a technician was electrocuted and seriously injured on Saturday night during a performance at a 'small theatre in the suburbs'.
I would be interested to know the details but would also like to state very loudly that THEATRE IS A DANGEROUS ACTIVITY!
While bad actors and directors can be a real pain a lazy or incompetent technician/set builder can be fatal. All equipment should be frequently inspected and regularly serviced. Borrowed equipment should be particulary
held suspect until thoroughly inspected.
So many times I have witnessed in the 'heat' of production shortcuts being made that could have had deadly ramifications.
I would like to express my beat wishes for a full recovery to the technician who obviously found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and ask that ALL technicians take heed of the dangers that are just one safety check away.
