I'm doing props for a student production Evil Dead the Musical and the director wants the actor playing Ash to break a few plates over his own head. I thought about greenware but I think it would probably cause an issue with shards flying into the actor's eyes and honestly I've dropped a plate on my foot made of the stuff and it hurt a lot. We don't have the money to spare on pre-made plates for 6 performances either. Any suggestions on a cheap way to not maim the actor and still get the effect?
