Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / PROPS: Breaking a vase
« on: Jun 30, 2015, 09:56 am »
Hello all,
I'm working on Abi Morgan's Splendour in london, we are currently talking through options for the "expensive venetian vase" being broken.
The designer has found a murano glass (lovely but expensive) vase which he would like on stage, however as this needs to smash every night and there is only one of the original, we need an alternative solution such as sugar glass or resin. However, for the entire run we will need around 80 of these, any ideas of how to achieve on a low budget?
I'd be specifically really interested if anyone has any experience of pre-breaking a vase or a copy of the vase, so when dropped it falls into pieces of which can be put back together like a jigsaw.
Many thanks in advance!
