Several companies have chosen a "bar" set.
Howard Platt has chosen a miminal set, as pictured below.
The set consists of a table, two chairs and two photographic drops. Stage right depicts a Limerick lane. Stage left depicts the Brooklyn Bridge. The flats are approximately 15 to 20 feet apart. Behind each flat is a six foot table holding props and a microphone for offstage voices. Not shown is a podium stage right, and a coat rack stage left. If the drops are not available, black "legs" may be substituted. Of paramount importance is two pints of Guinness poured with a creamy head, but this is obvious. |
For longer runs and larger houses we have more scenery
Howard rests at our touring table.
A podium is stage right |
