Prop Destruction

NEW PAGE – COMING SOON

Many writers and directors enjoy setting challenges to test their stage management teams where props are destroyed or damaged during each performance, and need to be refreshed / repaired before the start of the next performance. 

One approach is to use a ‘hero’ prop, which is detailed, and designed to be handled by actors and clearly seen by the audience. And then just before the moment when it is to be destroyed, swap it with a cheaper / simpler version.
