HI everyone!
I am currently stage managing the great tragedy HAMLET. We need to have foils in the show. For some reason the task of finding foils in A LOT harder than I expected. So if anyone has any tips on where I could find some foils, please let me know ASAP. I'm closing in on opening night at a rapid pace and am starting to get a little worried.
Thanks!!
:-)

I just did a "google.com" search for swords and fencing foils and got a ton of possibilities. I'd suggest you do the same. The prices varied from around $40.00 to $120.00. From the looks of things, you may even use the sites for ideas on making your own if your theatre has a resourceful prop builder. If your theatre is thin on funds, like so many are, it would be cheaper than purchasing them. Good luck!

Weapons of Choice is a good place to rent from. PH# 707.226.2845
