Props hire

dob2812 · 2014-04-25 12:36:17

Hi, Does anyone have any suggestions of a good place to source theatrical props for hire? I am looking for a sword-cane, a walking stick that turns out to be a sword. If anyone knows or has ever heard of anyone who even looks or sounds like they might have that sort of thing, a tip would be greatly appreciated!

You could ask the Abbey Theatre

If your group is a member of the DLI they often know where to find odd props too.

Maybe you could post on Facebook too, a lot of drama groups are now active there also. Search for "Dramanews Ireland" and post on their timeline (likely to be followed by various groups)

Or make your own?
