This is NOT your Grandfather's Punch!
A collaboration between UK and US individuals and groups, performances are happening now at the Barbican; US productions were performed in two locations last year - Minneapolis in May, and Philadelphia in September; the production evolved as it went along.
Read more about the wonderful people behind the show, including a lovely interview with the director where he talks about the history of Punch. Also, the Barbican's 'behind the scene' article, "That's the Way to Do it!"
While Punch is normally not performed as a toy theatre production, I have a weakness for the old scroundrel! I did find at least one play for the small stage for him, by Langdale, however...
Great story. Thank you. I MUST see this (somehow).
