Blood Capsules

Steph suggested the use of blood capsules in the pig's head. This way blood will drip from the head, we can take blood from the head to apply to our faces and it will splatter when hit by Jack. However, blood capsules are usually used for small things such as theatre mouth injuries by biting down on a capsule. This may mean that it doesn't have the desired affect unless the blood is taken out of the capsules beforehand and put into the head. This could take an extended amount of time and effort.

I think that it could possibly be easier to use packets of fake blood to put into the head. I shall mention this to Steph in class.

Capsules x100 - £7.50
(Steph may have some we could use for free)

Chain/Rope

This is to be attached above the highest rostra to the lighting rig for hanging the pig's head on.

This would preferably be chain as it fits in with the urban look a bit better.

I have looked at different DIY store websites as well as eBay and Amazon but got rather confused about the measurements for chains. I plan to visit Homebase sometime in the coming week to look at the different types, sizes and prices of chains.

Plus, the Set Production Team have not yet found out the height of the rostra so I won't be able to know the exact needed measurement until they have worked that out. However, I did find out the estimate heights of the two Jack's as they will need to punck the pig's head so it will need to be at a comfortable height for them.

Poppy - 5'7"
Billy - 5'10"/5'11"

Bike Chain

This is to be used to tie Eric and Sam together in Act Three.

In order to save money we are going to borrow Steve's bike chain for this. This will be available for us to use from next week onwards for rehearsals.

This will work better for our interpretation than the use of rope as it is a much more urban object.

Glasses (x8)

I had been told that I would be able to purchase clear lensed ray bans for as little as £1 each from Primark.

I have recieved the petty cash for this from Ben in college. (£10)

However, after going into Hereford to find this style of glasses I found none in the shop. I ventured into a few other shops where I found the cheapest pair for £5 in New Look. I have not purchased them using the college money as I hope to find them in Primark another time. I hope to look again in a few days.

If this does not work I will look to buy them using the internet.

I am confused as to where in the play the glasses are broken so will have to find out from Steph. Otherwise it is unnecessary to purchase more than one pair.

Narrow Beam Torch (x2)

There are two narrow beam torches available in the college prop cupboard.

These are free for us to use and will save us money from the budget.

These will be used by the Police officers played by both cast's Piggy and Simon.

Horn

<---------- £3.85 on Amazon.


James suspects that he will be able to purchase one for a cheaper amount within a weeks time.

If this is not successful I will purchase this horn from Amazon instead.
