Project Overview
This interactive puppet performance, based on the 400-year-old custom of Mr. Punch and Judy shows, was a modern version of a classic hand-puppet romp. The stage and puppet characters were based on traditional designs. Children were encouraged to correct Mr. Punch when he misbehaved. Following the show, the puppeteer answered audience questions and allowed children to see the puppets.
