We once had a blank gun for a theatre play I starred in, and we had someone explain to us how it worked and then he said "oh yeah, also if you're to close, it can kill you". Most of my characters fear of the gun was not acted after that. Also we had to ban people with pacemakers, epilepsy and heart diseases from coming to our play.
That's kinda badass! What was the play?
Also I saw a play with blank shots last year and I completely second the last part, even knowing it was completely under control I couldn't stop from jumping in my seat everytime it went off.
It's a play about a desperate teacher who can't control her ghetto class, and then a gun falls out of someones backpack, she manages to grab it and then forces the students to do the lessons, but also tries to solve deep psychological issues, like forcing the two anorexic girls of the class to eat donuts at gunpoint (dat was me, loved the donut) while going more and more batshit crazy.
Well nah, we were having a mental breakdown of course :D
And only eating like a bite of the donut. In the rehersals we'd eat the whole donut after the scene, but this one time, after each being forced to eat a bite, crying, heaving etc. the teacher actress stepped DIRECTLY ON THE REST OF THE DONUT. And the other girl and me just instantly made eye contact, mourning this sweet delicious treat. Was quite funny afterwards, we were thinking the exact same thing haha.
