Component 1, Section B: ‘Our Country’s Good’ Date:Design Skills: Furniture and Props (Act Two)
Chains and Act Two Scene For these, I would use heavy
shackles One: Visiting cast-iron shackles that are
Hours replicas of the one used in
colonies in the 18th century.
These would have iron chains
which would knock together to
create a loud noise when the
convicts moved.
Bottle of rum Act Two Scene The bottle of rum would be olive green
and chipped Three: Harry (the colour that rum bottles often
were in the 18th century), around 45cm
mug Brewer Sees the tall and it would be made of sugar
Dead glass. By using sugar glass, the actor
playing Harry could drop it so that it
smashes without causing injury. Then,
for the chipped mug, I would use a
metal cup painted metal that is 17cm
in height. This would have dents
dotted around it to show how it is in a
bad condition- this would also suggest
that Harry’s decline in stability has
caused the damage.
Keys to shackles Act Two Scene Here, I would use iron keys with
Five: The circle cutouts at the top- these
Second would be about 6cm in length.
Rehearsal Each officer would have a clip
attached to their belt loop to
allow them to attach the keys
there.
Knotted rope Act Two Scene Here I would use manilla hemp
Six: The Science rope (the typical rope used by
of Hanging William Marwood- a famous
18th century executioner) that
ends in the executioner’s knot
(a noose shape).
