The stage directions for Arsenic and Old Lace call for a handkerchief to be stuffed in the heroine's mouth, but you might be able to persuade an actress that it's not very convincing that way, and needs to be held in place. I did. Also, the musical Thoroughly Modern Millie has one of the gals pop her head up out of a laundry basket, bound and gagged. She's immediately released, though. |

| Friday April 11 02:01:40 2008 urinetown ad |
| I saw a very good local play last year (unfortunately I don't remember the name right now) in which the pretty red-head star was tape gagged as part of a scam. The posters advertising the play showed a scene in which she is being led into a bathroom tape gagged. What was an additional plus for me was that I was at a movie poster store and I saw the female star there getting this poster framed. I enjoyed the idea that she has a poster of herself gagged in her apartment for everyone to see. |

Tomorrow I'll post some caps I got off the web of other productions for a planned ezine article that never happened. Perhaps others will help me remember where they are from. |

Nice, I hope it's a long scene. |

| > > > picture shows one actress gagged...The movie is about > > I think thats Charlize Theron. > http://www.battleinseattlemovie.com/pics.html Nope, that's the also-lovely Connie Nielsen. But she's among numerous protesters gagged in one way or another in this flick. Also, there's a big close-up of Connie at the same site, on her own page under "Cast." Just click the link I included. |

This video has 2 OTS scenes but I assume the readers would be interested. |

| Friday April 11 13:24:52 2008 Tanya Dempsey (Guardian of the Realm, Razor) |
| 2 things on this actress: First, I just posted a VCR alert for Guardian of the Realm later this month (4/29), a still of which is down below. Second, a trailer for a movie called razor (linked) shows Dempsey cleave gagged at about the 1:50 mark. Neither of these are in the DB. I have a partial clip from Guardian of the Realm from celebritymoviearchive. Hope someone can rip these scenes. |

| > Anyone know other examples of gag scenes within plays? > I'm actually taking a stage directing 101 class, and I'm > a little curious... ;) William Gillette's play Sherlock Holmes has an extensive B&G scene in the second half for character Alice Faulkner. Play is more than 100 years old but is still shown pretty regularly ' She has come to warn Holmes of the fraud. Learning that his life is in peril, she attempts to buy his safety by revealing that the real letters are behind the shutter of her room; but she is gagged, bound and thrust into a closet when Holmes' arrival is signalled. The detective, soon aware that he is in a gas chamber by noting the caulking of the room and a lingering odor of gas, knowingly buys the counterfeits for a thousand pounds; he also tempts Larrabee to snatch at added money so that he may charge robbery. He grabs from the closet door a knife hurriedly used to close it, and out pitches Alice.' |

| > William Gillette's play Sherlock Holmes has an extensive > B&G scene in the second half for character Alice > Faulkner. Interesting direction in the script: "ALICE (looking at them terrified): They don’t obey you. They are — (LEARY seizes her. She screams and resists, but CRAIGIN and McTAGUE come at once, so that she is quickly subdued and gagged with handkerchief, etc., and her hands tied. As the Struggle takes place, men work up to near cupboard with ALICE. LARRABEE also eagerly watching them tie ALICE up. This is not prolonged more than is absolutely necessary..." Interesting choice of words with 'etc.', 'eagerly' and 'prolonged' |

| > Anyone know other examples of gag scenes within > plays? 'Cry of the Reed' 'The focus is a plucky young journalist, the Turkish-American Sevgi (Lisa Birnbaum), who tries to crack her way into Iraq....Director Daniel Goldstein handily stages the play’s simultaneous action, so we see Sevgi bound and gagged on a filthy mattress even as Ayla professes a belief that her daughter is safe.' |

| (unsigned poster) wrote: > > Anyone know other examples of gag scenes within > > plays? Duh! How could I forget Dario Fo's "Abducting Diana." In among the sexual and media politics, Diana does spend a fair amount of time tied up. The one production I saw also featured a gag, though I don't know if that's in the stage directions or not. There's also Mark Medoff's "When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder?," which I've never actually seen, but which I understand does feature a b&g situation. And there's another one whose title is eluding me-- it's two-person play involving a girl tied to a chair; we've had pictures posted of it here before. |
