Death by Design – Call for Props

Dates April 11, 2017

As rehearsals gather pace and the first sounds of hammer and saw arrive this week on the set, we are casting our net wide for props for our thirties-set whodunit.

If you have, or know anyone who has any of the following, particularly if they are – or could be – 1930s style then please contact SBADS via the contact page and let us know and a friendly member will leap round to borrow it when the time is right.  All major prop loans will be acknowledged in the programme.  Props which are crossed out have now been found.  This page will update as, hopefully, the list diminishes.
