KingOfTheRubberDucks Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I'm currently doing a production of Germaine Greers version of Lysistrata. I was wondering im anyone out there had asm a production if so what did you use to give the men erections. thank you for any help. Moderation: Moved from pyro to props & wardrobe. I think it fits better here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 So, how many of the moderation team saw the title of this thread and immediately thought "Spammer..." ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandersears Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 An interesting conundrum regardless, no? I can't see many actors having that level of control (unless the script allows them to come on stage like that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerry davies Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Props, dear boy, props in the fullest sense of the word. Duckie can be forgiven because A) he is a student and B) his profile shows no gender. (No gender, no genitalia?) The men are described as; well-bred gents with VAST erections, not actors in a state of excitement, which occurs all too frequently anyway.

dbuckley Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 A mate of mine who acted in this had a giant foam "thing" that just hung down. And I mean giant, dimensions measured in feet (or significant fractions thereof) rather than inches :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the kid Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I am sure that some ... ahem ... houses of ... erm ... questionable repor (I am SURE hippy can come up with a better phrase) could possibly help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McCrea Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Alternatively a trip to Cheltenhams Blue Room (Definitely Not suitable for work, home or shared computers or people under the age of 18....)

ramdram Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Frankly I thought that link to the "other" BR was in very poor taste indeed...did you see the "lighting"? It was rubbish, not at all up to the high standard so often seen in this forum. What IS the world coming to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemma Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I had to make 10 men simultaneously have erections (and then lose them!) for a rather strange version of Lysistrata. The prototype device I made worked perfectly, but in the end was not used as the trousers the actors wore were too tight (they were Mods in drainpipe jeans) and there wasn't really enough room for what the actors started with, let alone any additions! The device was basically a balloon with two rubber tubes in the neck. On one tube was attached a small canister of air (from a camera shop) and on the other a valve which could be opened and closed to trap / enable the escape of air. PTFE tape (from DIY stores) will help seal any joints. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
