Set Building!

Director: "Chris, could you knock up some drapes for a four poster bed please?"

Chris: "Sure! - where's the bed?"

I was then shown a wooden bed base with a broom handle in each corner joined together at the top with some garden twine. As an added problem one of the 'corner posts' is fixed so that it will collapse on cue bringing the drapes down with it!
hmmmmm - let me go away and think about this!
