Avenue Q

Funniest performance done with puppets on stage, just the right mix of puppet and person! It was crude but light, and the songs, oh the songs..i am sure most of the people that went to see this will have now downloaded them! The only objection, 12 year olds I think, are too young to see this, but hey at least it makes a statement!

Landscape and Monologue

Oh Harold Pinter how you continue to put me in awe! The content of each speech was brilliant, the repition and pauses are classic Pinter, along with the detail description of something that could seem so insignificant (like a keg of beer). However I feel the woman actress did not do this justice, a tad wishy washy I would say, but the man that accompanied her on stage...wow, sexiest voice ever!!!

Hippolytus

Loved it!!!

Original with contrasting characters and vivid! Oh and the hanging of Feadra...absolutely amazing!!! Shame that there were moments that were no better described as a snooze fest. The ending of this adaption disappointed me...there was no need for news presenters to re-iterate what we had just seen!

Husky Dog Talking - " I love you "

The Merry Wives Of Windsor

An hilarious version of Shakespeare's already popular comedy, however it was slightly too long, just over 3 hours or so, but the comedy and the ridiculousness of some of the characters personalities and colourful costumes made the time fly past. Also what made it more interesting was the plot and many different sub-plots that made the audience think about what they were watching.

Urashima Taro-after show talk

Half an hour talk on the makings of the puppets and what it is like for the puppeteer to work with them, and the challenges of putting the show on with only the actor and director working on the show. 

Urashima Taro

This was an unusual account of the protagonists life story portrayed with puppets, showing the relationship between puppet and human. There was use of many mediums, music, puppetry, projection of images that were hard to act out. What was most impressive was that one person controlled the puppets and they seemed so life like at points I got caught up in the story.
