Turning back upstage right from the stage manager’s table we see the backstage corner with the prop box and behind it the scenery shop area. Prop girl Emily is holding a candle that might be needed for the drawing room set. Props used by the actors in the current production are kept on a table over on stage left where most of the entrances and exits take place. There is a superstition about this corner of backstage, “It feels spooky,” she says, “like you never know what you might find back here.” Some people say that Emily looks somewhat spooky herself. Not just her choice of clothes, she is one of those women who could pass for a teenager well into her forties. Not at all into acting, she runs a successful antiques business, bringing in objects not worth selling to be used as props. Obsessively neat she keeps the contents of the prop box well organized, her ‘treasures’ on the left and ‘junk’ on the right. Anyone in the company can take what they like from the junk, or add things they think might be useful. The Alicism outfit by Aery Soul hasn’t been on sale anywhere for ages. Xyla hair by AprilYSH is from DAZ. Almost at the end of the backstage tour.
