I've got a fun and interesting challenge. So far I haven't come up with a good solution. In our current production an Actor need to sit in a chair and have it 'break' under him. He first picks it up by the back < It's a kids sized sort of ladder-back kind of chair> set's it down then dramatically sits, whereupon the chair falls aprt beneath him The original setup I designed didn't account for him picking it up < we didn't get that note> the second design, I was told, "Worked brilliantly" 'course it also destroyed one of the legs and snapped on of the seat supports. So my question is:
Have you ever designed or built a chair that could fall apart nightly for a 6 week run ? My current method is buildingit like a real ladder back but using balsa wood dowels instead of hardwood dowels to hold it together. I'll let you all know how the run goes today, In the meantime let me know what you think.
