Object
Costume Hamper
A large canvas sack stretched over a wooden frame, suspended near the stage wings to catch discarded costumes. The Doctor crashes through a torn backdrop and lands heavily atop it, the canvas collapsing under his weight with a muffled groan. Its contents—a tangle of silk scarves, moth-eaten velvet, and a few discarded papier-mâché props—spill onto the stage as the Doctor scrambles free, leaving it crumpled and useless in his wake.
