I'm designing a set for the 16th Century play Arden of Faversham. The only thing required is to have an actor's "head broken by a window ." This is an open window suddenly closing as someone is sticking their head through it. I have access to a premade window (plexi pane and wooden frame) that I can alter as needed. Should I rig this somehow or create something from scratch? I'm usually on the artistic rather than logistic side of scene design, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Obviously safety is the chief concern, and I know the actor this will include is experienced and game for most things. This is a low tech production that focuses on the text. As of now, most of the set consists of framed windows and doors on casters to be moved by actors, so this would be an element within one of these frames. Thanks in advance for any advice!
