A perfect lawn
Tue, 10 Nov 2009, 04:47 pmHi guys,
seeking the experts advice once again. How can one create a lawn effect on stage, without spending squillions on artificial turf? Note: Said garden scene is placed directly after the interval so there's set up time available (20 minutes), however on the other side of the scene, there's only a few minutes to clear props etc, including: garden bench, fake plants etc... the stage is jarrah stained floorboards. Can it be done? Lighting? Second question. I like the idea of using free standing lattice as screens, does anyone know where this can be hireed . purchased cheaply, or would it be better to paint a mobile flat?
cheers

John, the bowling club
Tue, 10 Nov 2009, 09:24 pmJohn, the bowling club next door to the Old Mill is currently replacing its artificial turf. I was down there on Sunday to view the set I'm going to paint for Hywel and saw huge rolls of the old turf lying around the perimeter of the greens. Hywel has already laid claim to enough of this surplus material for his own set, so I should think a telephone call to the bowling club as soon as you can (tomorrow morning...Thursday) might well be worth your while...IF it hasn't already been removed and dumped. A pity I didn't know about your need for it sooner!
I'll be down there tomorrow, but late in the afternoon. Give me a call as soon as you get home from tonight's rehearsal (and see this, obviously!)
