Hi,...
maybe some of you already have had this problem and could give me some ideas or advice..
is there any possibility to make an open small fire-place on the theatre stage, not using those cheap chinese "fire" imitations made of coloured fabrics that start moving with the fan at the bottom??... i want it to seem real, but it's obvious, that some theatres have restricted the use of dangerous materials.
thanks.

P.S.
What Don has (no doubt carefully) neglected to mention is that he created a realistic "firelight glow effect" for a production I was involved with not so long ago. It was a great touch and has been used quite frequently in several productions since.
Perhaps you should have a word in his pearly shell-like?
Graeme.
