bullet Topic: fake syringe
    Posted: 3/31/04 at 10:21pm

We're doing a medical thriller on a very small stage.  One of the climactic moments involves a character being given an injection downstage center, about three feet from the audience.  The audience has to see the syringe, and the needle, and ideally even the spurt of liquid out the tip of the needle... but we obviously don't want the actors struggling over a sharp and potentially dangerous needle, either.

Anybody know where we can get a realistic fake needle, preferably circa 1968?  Or does anybody have any other suggestions?

contact local hospital - use a hollow tube ( like the covering of a telephone wire -the kind you strip off when puting a phone in) as your needle

Further to Larry?s excellent  suggestion. You could use a piece of fine fibre optics! It will give a better appearance of a  metallic needle, more so than  electrical spaghetti. Being a tube it will also pass any liquid, which can be mopped & masked, with cotton wool or swabbed up in full view of the punters
