Re: SHOTGUN NEEDED

What part of Aus are you in Sue?,

I know someone in our society has a pretend one (made of timber and pipe) that looks the part. We have used it in two recent shows that I know of.

We are in Blue Mountains - wes of Sydney.

Re: SHOTGUN NEEDED


Thank you very much for your response.

But unfortunately I am in Fremantle .WA.

I KNOW WE DO ALMOST ANYTHING FOR THEATRE, but thats a little to far to drive.

Will consider that idea of making one if necessary.

Regards

Re: SHOTGUN NEEDED

Hi Sue,

Just in case you havenÂ’t found one yet, I was in the cast of SMOKE at the Blue Room in November 2002, and we used a replica sawn off double barrelled shotgun which I understand was one of the Blue RoomÂ’s regular props. I returned it to them in Dec 2002, they probably still have it.

Try them, but just make sure you transport it in a bag that hides itÂ’s shape, the Police get VERY touchy about firearms which I guess is understandable. It accidentally scared the hell out of a Telstra tech who came across it under my computer desk at home, where I kept it during the show's run

Good luck with your production.

Cheers,

Eddie Stowers
