Puppetgeist

From the award-winning Stickyback group comes this highly entertaining and laugh-out-loud silly show, mixing up sketches loosely pastiching the horror genre, whilst at the same times incorporating puppets from all walk of puppet-hood – be they muppet-style, shadow or full grown man-sized. Very much from the school of ‘talk to the hand’, the interactions between the the human and furry characters firmly kept the upper hand made of fabric, and a combination of excellent puppetry and good eye-contact kept every character believable and fully alive. A sense of humour and tongue firmly in cheek was ever-present in the writing, delivering up a warmth and fondness that has kept audiences returning each year to this delightful company. SO much fun!
