citazione

In many theatres there is a light warning-signal from the prompt corner to the fly platform. A green or red light (according to the colours decided upon) warns the flymen that the rise (or fall) of the curtain is imminent and the men 'stand by' for the other light […] which tells them to haul the ropes.
