Throughout the production, loud music is played and there are several loud sound effects.
Whitehands is shot in the heart with an arrow - this is a plastic prop, not sharp and the actor is not hurt
We see Tristan being stretched and dying whilst loud intense music plays. The actor is not in pain and it has been rehearsed with a choreographer.
There is a fight scene. People are wearing masks and we cannot see their faces. The punches are not real, and the daggers used are plastic and not sharp. Nobody is hurt.
There is a sound effect of an explosion which causes a loud bang.
King Mark talks about the war and the crimes that have been committed.
Frocin murders the people in masks by slitting their throat and breaking their neck. This is done in an over-exaggerated way to show it is not real, and real weapons are not used. There is another loud bang as Morholt enters. The actor is carrying daggers and is threatening to King Mark. The dagger isn't real and is made of plastic.
Morholt threatens to take over Kernow.
There is another fight scene. Tristan picks up both knives and challenges Morholt. Tristan pretends to hit their head on the ladder. This then turns into a vicious battle, where Tristan is stabbed in the side, and Morholt is stabbed in the eye which leads to her dying Morholt screams loudly, but the actor is not hurt All of the fighting scenes have been choreographed with a fight director
We flash forward again to see Tristan being pulled and dying, like in the first scene. The actor is not being hurt.
King Mark shouts loudly at Morholt as she is dying.
Tristan falls to the floor because he is in pain from where Morholt stabbed him The actor is not hurt
We see Tristan on a boat. He is wrapped in rope and being pulled side to side by the Love Spotters. The ropes are not tight around the actor and this does not hurt.
Tristan awakes in pain from his wounds that Yseult is tending to. She teaches him how to walk again, and he sometimes falls over, but he gets stronger
Yseult learns who Tristan is and tries to kill him. There is a fight for the knife and they are rolling around on the floor. Brangian tries to intervene and she is hit in the face which causes the fight to stop. The actor playing Brangian is not hurt and this is choreographed by a fight director.
Yseult points the knife at Tristan.
