Nic Ireland Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I am looking to find a good representation of Guinness for a show and would be grateful for any ideas you may have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddison Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Depends how close the audience you have too fool are, but cold black coffee with whipped cream (not too thick though) should work... If they have to drink it, then I'd suggest that you sweeten the coffee a little... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed_ Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I have no idea what the solution is - but if you are from Ireland and know anyone who worked with the Fab Beast company, apparently their show 'The Bull' in the Dublin Theatre Festival (O'Reilly Theatre) several years ago involved a man at the top of a 7m vertical ladder drinking pints of 'Guinness' for the entire show. They'll know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w/robe Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 This may be a really stupid question but does it have to be non-alcoholic? I only ask as I worked on a show where Stage Management spent ages doing all the usual tricks to try and make convincing bitter that would last throughout the show until the actor pointed out that since he only consumed 1 pint in 90 minutes he was probably not going to get drunk. The prop was then supplied by the theatre bar each night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Pearce Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 This is a link to a rather useful site selling alcohol free beverages of the normally alcoholic variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Ireland Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thank you to all of you who have replied. I too believe it a very bad thing to have to find a non-alcoholic version! I'll try the coke and cream tomorrow!! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
