Props Development

Over the past week I have visited a variety of different stores to compare different prices and sizes for chains and/or ropes.

These are the best I have found so far:

Homebase

White Plastic Chain 6mm           £3.49 (p/m)

Steel Chain 6mm                         £12.49 (2m)

Sisal Rope 10mm                        £1.49 (p/m)

Sisal Rope 8mm                          £10.29 (15m)

B&Q

Long Link Steel Chain 5mm       £4.37 (p/m)

Sisal Rope 10mm                        £1.08 (p/m)

Sisal Rope 8mm                          £0.88 (p/m)

I also found a couple of different hooks that could be used to attach the pig's head onto:

Homebase

Quick Release Hook                   £6.99

Spring Hook                                 £10.19

In my opinion, if we were to use a chain, the 6mm sizes would be preferable in order to show up on stage.

However, although I think a chain would have a better affect in the production we shall probably have to use a rope as they are much cheaper.

I shall continue looking for cheaper offers while I wait to find out from the Set production team how high the rostra is going to be.
