Re: "substituted for"
imagining a realistic scenario where an actor could be seriously injured by the use of a rubber knife instead of a real knife
Act 1
Scene 1
A deserted street.
Enter Alice and Bob, both carrying fearsome looking knives
Alice: Have at you bob, yer bastard.
Bob: Bring it on.
Bob and Alice circle one another and then simultaneously lunge forward with their knives clashing the blades
FX: spark shower and metallic clang Boing sound.
They both fall, fatally wounded hilariously knocked out by their own rebounding blade.
Curtain.
