I need a wheelchair
Thu, 5 July 2001, 10:38 pmPreferably one of those motorised jobs so I don't have to get out of my seat all day. Oh yeah, and a drinks holder and racing stripes (makes it go faster) and CD stacker...
But that's just me. For our upcoming production of Amadeus we need an old-fashioned article. The older the better. We're talking 1820s here. We had a lead on one, but it fell through. If anyone has one, or knows of one, we'd be most appreciative. Please email me or give me a ring on 9206-0034.
Thanks,
JB

RE: I need a wheelchair
Hi Jarrod
This maybe the one that fell thru', but WAAPA has/had the genuine article. No less than the wheelchair used in the original stage production of Amadeus in the UK. They don't usually loan or hire out equipment, but they did make an exception once before in this case because it is such a unique item and otherwise nigh on impossible to obtain.
Incidentally, apologies for not getting back to you sooner on how to add a photo to your listings! As you'd be aware, i've been a particularly busy vegemite of late.
Adding images involves putting the image up on the web somewhere and pointing to it with a bit of HTML code in your information section like the following:
>img src="http://www.address.to.image/image.jpg" align=right<
Where www.address.to.image and image.jpg are the place where the image can be found and the image name respectively.
Second choice is to email the image to me as an attachment - but this usually involves a wait of a few days before i get a chance to place the image up. (always assuming that i actually have a working pooter!)
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Grant

RE: I need a wheelchair
Jarrod -
If that fails, call the Independent Living Centre on 9382 2011 and they might have a really old and crappy one. They loan chairs out for $10 a month, maybe even cheaper if you want one of the old, condemned ones they don't risk with clients anymore. Who knows, they might even have some antiques (or know of where you can get them) for novelty value.
Maybe cover a newer chair in hessian to make it look 'authentic'?

P.S. 'Romeo and Juliet' at the Rechabites, 8pm, 5-14 July (no performance Monday). See Chesty's promotion up the boy-role-ladder in Shakepeare's most popular play.

RE: I need a wheelchair-PS
An extra thought -
Ask for Helen if you call the ILC. She's the occupational therapist in charge of the equipment lending library and is likely to be sympathetic to your cause-she's an amateur tap dancer!

RE: Amadeus III - The Search for a Wheelchair-PS
Many thanks to all those who replied, particularly the lovely Amanda whose tip was right on the money.
Sorry Amanda, don't know if I'll catch your latest foray into the mysterious and exciting world of transvestitism (very busy with the Austrian play) but I'm surprised Dean hasn't been around to help each you need your prosthetic fitted.

I thought you were referring to me, and I felt completely and publicly violated by an 18th century composer...who looked a lot like Eliot McCann...
