Well not so much to install, but to advise on where we can hire / borrow a fake gas fire? Playlovers had a marvellous fireplace for their production of Hobson's Choice, but our play, whilst set in a similar region, is in more modern times...I know the house would probably be central heated, but we're old fashioned enough to want a fire, even if it's fuelled by gas rather than wood...all /any advice welcomed.

That's a good piont to add

That's a good piont to add a constant 3rd globe.

On a tangent, this how footlights became known as floats, prior to electric lighting. In the days when oil lighting was used on the apron of the stage. They used a trough of water & floated oil lamps in it. So if they were knocked over by a warm prop or whom ever, they would extinguish in the water.

Sorry I though I'd hoy that in!
