Bill Talbot: Making the brides' bodies

In 'Bluebeard', there's a gruesome scene where Bluebeard's new wife discovers the bodies of his past brides hanging in cages in a secret room. Head of Props Bill Talbot tells us about making bodies appear as if in different stages of decay. One body was cast in polystyrene, one modelled on the body of one of Bill's colleagues at Bristol Old Vic, and the third was made from a plastic skeleton.
