A technicality: I think you have to count the barber chair as part of the set. That thing is a little too big and functional to be considered just a prop. But then again, who reaaly know what's actually part of the set and what's just a prop? The distinction is fuzzy. All of this leads me to a slightly amusing story. I recently saw an incredibly good production of "Sweeney" put on by the student theater group at Snodfart University. They were using the compressed air that is intended to run shop tools for the trap door under the chair and also for the factory whistle. When they first tried it, they realized that they didn't have it hooked up quite right because they blew the whistle and one of the actors almost fell through the suddenly open trap door. -- Mark A. ...{uw-beaver|fluke}!ssc-vax!adolph "1 + 1 = 1, for sufficiently small values of 1..."
