a licence 1 perform. To make a fireproofing solution: mix 300 g (12 0z) borax with 250 g (10 oz) boracic acid (from any chemist). Dissolve in 5 litres (1 gal) water. Recently manufactured plastics should have fireproofing qualities incor- porated. If in doubt, refer to supplier and/or manufacturer. To test for fireproofing: one quick method is to hold a flame against the object for 10 seconds. If the object fails to burn when the flame is removed it may be considered reasonably safe. But to be certain see British Safety Standards Fire Tests. Sound effects and music Many traditional methods of making sounds have been superseded by the LP sound recordings of recent years. The use of coconuts for hooves, Peas in a tray for rain, etc. are still useful but many typical sounds can now be obtained on a single record. Look up lists of EMI and BBC. publications. The thunder sheet (a large sheet of metal suspended in and above the wings) is still a useful sound effect. Music can be used for musicals, ete. only if copyright is available. Always write to the publisher concerned regarding copyright requirements, fees and number of per- formances. Licences and permissions Write to the publishers of acting editions of plays (Faber & Faber, French, etc.) for details of licence and fees. 281
