Oh my gosh where to even start. Everyone said “for a play about naked people it sure is a lot of work” and indeed it was. The whole play was muddy and bloody. I somehow became in charge of making the blood which at the time I had no clue how to make but it’s a simple recipe of red food dye, dark Karo syrup and clear laundry detergent (so it can wash out). The first obstacle was trying to make inmate uniforms that could withstand all the fake blood and mud so several tests with different amounts of time with blood on them had to be precisely recorded, it was a real science experiment. One of the scenes had the lead actress surgically sewing her brothers penis on. I found a realistic looking “full package” (don’t ask where, porn shop where else) which I painted to make look “bruised” and attached to a nude colored thong and heat gunned seran wrap to make it look like a bandage. Instant surgery. I won’t even get into trying to find a dress that fit one female & two male actors or the laundry mess it made.
