Anatomy of a suicide
Technical Stage Management
Anatomy of a suicide was performed in thrust and comprised of 12 pieces of 1220x2440 & 610x2440 Steel deck which was then bolted together to form the plinth with a dropped acting space in the middle. The deck was then clad with MDF painted to resemble a turkish Bath.
A prominent technical element was the Bathtub which was constructed of MDF and filled with Pond lining to prevent damage to the set. Due to the bath being well insulated (being made of wood and rubber pond lining) it was easy to keep the water at a consistently warm temperature, which was around 34-36 degrees. The bathtub was partially filled up at the top of every show then fully filled up during the 20-minute interval. During the technical rehearsals, the bath was filled up via a hose connected to a shower in the hallway next to the chandler. Though the hose negated the amount of manual handling involved, it was more time-consuming so in order to resolve this issue, we filled an LX bin full of warm water and transferred it into the bath via buckets.
The technical stage department was responsible for the sowing of the 8 curtains that made up the backdrop of the show, these curtains were made of Anti-static coat lining which was then hemmed at both ends with a hem of 75mm, the curtains were then eyeleted with snap-on eyelets from mandors 240mm apart from each other to allow for each curtain to have 7 eyelets in each.
