<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">I remember some years ago, Dr. Doom saying that you need an illuminated line at the front edge of the stage so that its clearly visible in a blackout. If I remember correctly,
the suggestion was to use electroluminescent wire in a grove cut into the stage floor at an angle so the EL wire is basked from the audience by the angle of the grove, but visible to anyone on stage - to my mind, that would do more good then a trip lip, which
seems likely to cause a worse fall - at least to me.

I don’t think I am seeing them when I visit other theatres, but I wanted to check around before I start pushing back.</span></p>
