what type of speakers would you need for putting on a play outdoors? eg what wattage?

Go to Sound Hire on barrow street or if you're thinking of buying go to Sounds Around on Capel st. Talk to either of them, they'll put you right. (I am not affiliated with either establishment but have used them both many times)

Without a doubt the worst brand on the barket.

If you are as inexperienced as it sounds, please go to a professional and have them supply and mix your show. The pitfalls of theatre sound are many, varied, and deep! Bad sound will ruin it for everyone, most importantly the audience.

Best of luck ~

Do you have a PA etc? Sounds like you may need a professional/semi-professional on the case -notoriously tricky to get a good sound outdoors, especially for theatre
