Punched
Think you know puppetry? Think again.
Touched Theatre presents Brighton's first regular
programme of home-grown puppetry talent:
PUNCHED.
This is puppetry by adults, for adults, with not a
squeaky glove toy in sight. The genre-busting
programme encompasses object animation, dance,
visual installation and cabaret, all wrapped up as
brand spanking new puppetry performance.
Now that's what I call puppetry!
The next PUNCHED will be in July.
The first PUNCHED in December was a total sell-out, and featured new work from Yael Karavan (Karavan
Ensemble), Annie Brooks & Joe Kenny, Isobel Smith (Grist to the Mill) and Matt Rudkin (Inconvenient
Spoof), and was hosted by Unpacked Theatre's inimitable drag marionette, Miranda - the only member of
the cast allowed to chainsmoke on the premises.
'Our host Miranda, the rough-voiced drag puppet "with no strings attached", pointed out most of these works
were brand new - so there would be no refunds. Not that anyone would want one with the rich pickings on offer.'

We're looking forward to the second - at the Nightingale Theatre this July!
