Props in Torch Song
Even upon entrance one can already see the props on the stage ready to be utilized by the performers.
– The Plethora of props included items such as: hangers of dresses, wigs, chairs, baskets, books, lamps, a non-electronic landline phone,makeup, sewing machine, pillow with a rabbit, rabbit figurines, lots of rabbit props!
-We open to a messy drag queen’s dressing room
-A huge light sign that says TORCH SONG hangs above the stage; 1971 light utilized to create the scenery; international stud light to create a setting
-There empty stages in both scenes with the International Stud Bar, showing the lack of need of props; only the rigor of the actors
-We can see plates/bowls; bottle of brandy; wine in the act with Ed
-We also see a lot of shared props which also adds color to the play:
–>A huge bed to be used as a stage for more than bedroom scenes.
–>sharing of newspaper between scenes
-We are able to see more props in the scenes with Arnold as compared to Ed.
