Review So so. A company of 7 (plus techie?) . One of the 7 stayed on the keyboard all the time. Two of the remaining 6 very much carried the other 4 in terms of being front people and also regarding interaction with the children in the audience. The other 4 were rather like ‘also rans’, although I guess they operated the puppets from the behind the screen/the shed. The puppets were rather tired looking – poor copies of brightly coloured Sesame Street type characters ; and the puppetry was nothing special – often quite poor. It would possibly be OK for pre-school activity, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable asking village hall audiences to pay to come and see it. |
