Puppetry

A (very) brief history of puppetry.

A museum and performance center in Atlanta, Georgia.

From the Romance of Alexander (Bodley 264), mid-14th century.

We have thoroughly researched many aspects of medieval puppetry and tudor puppetry concentrating on the development of the puppet theatre before introduction of Punch. All the puppets and stage equipment, as well as our costume are handcrafted and handsewn in accurate and authentic materials. This enables us to show in detail the techniques and materials used in the period.We can also demonstrate/discuss sources and provide talks on a range of aspects of puppetry.
