59 This cover was created with the Props Department. Props are anything that appears on stage that isn’t scenery or a costume. The Props department is responsible for creating and sourcing props for every production, no matter how peculiar or obscure. Props supervisors have an in-depth knowledge of period styles and where to source both mundane and unusual items. Prop-makers require a range of skills including furniture making, metalwork, sculpting, upholstery and paint techniques; they have a keen eye for detail and work across productions that range from the classical to contemporary. 020 7452 3000 nationaltheatre.org.uk Find us online
