A papier-mache head in the back drop.

Just kidding. There's not an awful lot of resemblance is there?
Hence the reason I specifically mentioned the stage prop, and didn't ask about any backdrops or use of lighting effects or anything else

Of course there is no connection between Eddie (The 'Ed) and anything used by Alice. From the top of my head, neither Alice or the ACG have ever used any kind of backdrop. The theatrics and props have always been centre stage, not hidden away at the back
