As a small time theatre manager, I must stress...
*DON'T HIT THE DRAPES*
(Hmm - idea for a new thread).
Considering how long it would take a drop to fall (maybe 2 seconds if
you're
really lucky) and even the largest its possible to make a drip (using
really
thick liquid), it would be really hard for an audience to see the drop
fall
from any distance . Having something pale underneath the drip to
highlight
the stain it makes would make what is happening much more obvious.
You would really have to focus the audience's attention and get the
lighting
spot on to see a drip actually falling.
