Pangolin's Teatime, England
Cutting comedy from the UK's leading satirical shadow puppet show.
The Great Puppet Horn provides cultural critique as only bits of cardboard stuck to a stick can. In a mere 60 minutes hundreds of puppets are animated at frenetic speed to tell tales bizarre and comic through the monochrome glory of the shadow screen. As discarded politicians fly by your ears, delight in the shadowy characters who speak, beat-box and pole-dance for your entertainment.
With a constantly changing collection of sketches and short stories The Great Puppet Horn provides up-to-the-minute commentary on everything from the global financial crisis to Take That, usually at the same time.
Following sell out shows across the country The Great Puppet Horn (aka Jeremy Bidgood and Lewis Young) returns to manipulate with an entirely new line up of cardboard characters to amuse you. From English syntax to budget cuts nothing is safe from two guys with a stack of puppets. This is South Park meets Newsnight with a whole load of cardboard.
Scathingly funny... five stars.
Sunday Times
An irreverently funny piece of shadow puppet theatre ...anarchic ...sharp witted.
