George, a film maker, has to make a documentary about
puppets roaming free in their natural environment.
Real, wild living puppets? Surely not! Or is there
something that we don’t know?
Come and help George make his spoof documentary,
and watch as he ventures into the uncharted territory
of wild puppets, where traditional characters like
Mr Punch live alongside their real, wild cousins.
A hilarious story that combines delightful puppetry
and acting. With original music and subtle lighting effects
this is an entertaining and wildly imaginative show not to be missed.
Suitability: 5 -12 years and families
Duration: 60 minutes
"Puppets in the Wild fully deserved the sell out audience that it attracted. A real treat for the
half term, with clever audience participation and the usual high standard of puppetry.
It was a success and Mr Punch will never quite be the same!"
Simon Pugh, Bloxwich Library Theatre, Walsall
"An exciting and mesmerizing performance - an artist happy and willing to
interact with the children - a riveting performance!"
Patricia Henderson, Headteacher
