False ceiling at The Lyric Theater
Apparently it was just some chicken wire covered with a paste of some sort.
Quote:
“Chicken wire, asbestos and a little plaster with paint on the bottom–watch.”
He tossed a golf ball sized bit of crumbled brick onto the material, then, with a little ripping noise, the chunk tore through the surface leaving a neat round hole behind.
We could hear it ricochet across the wall, and then the floor below. I would make sure to stay on the plank as the two of us moved across the suspended ceiling. The steel bands holding up the ceiling we were using as a floor were marked with rust: they did not exactly inspire confidence.
