Welcome To Thebes: Junk Pistol

“Welcome To Thebes”
Director: Oliver Dimsdale, Ferdy Roberts from Filter Theatre Company
Designer: Amy Cook
Stage: Embassy Theatre, 26th-29th June 2019

For the show Welcome To Thebes, I was tasked to make some weapons for rebels which would have had to be resourceful. One of these props was a pistol made by rebels out of scrap parts. The project was a very fun as it basically saw me going around the props workshop, looking through the back of cupboards and genuinely looking through the bins for any kind of authentically scrap parts to make the pistol with. I am particularly proud of the wing nut iron sights on the pistol. Although the weapons were cut from the show during production, this one survived, quite ironic!
