Behind The Scenes : The Crucible : In the Prop Room

Whilst the audience see what is on stage, there is so much going on behind the scenes and particularly in what is known as the Prop Room. Yes it is where the props are stored, but also where the backstage team have to sit for long periods waiting to go and do their bit!


It is very dark once the performance has started and everyone is absolutely silent!


Knitting by lamplight ..... well headlamps!


Phones come in handy!


Always work to do on a laptop.


Getting stuck in to a good book.


And time for a break!
