A problem for the group

Today we faced a huge problem for our group when our main male actor Daniel injured his leg and is now on crutches. Daniel is the antagonist in our opening which means that he needs to be evil, therefore him roaming around on crutches for opening wouldn't look right. 3/4 of our project is done with Daniel in it- therefore we will have to change the piece as we cannot now have him suddenly on crutches half way through. One of our group members; Joe has agreed to be in the final bit that Daniel would be in and the final setting up the room part would not have Daniel's body or face in- just his hands.
