Unicorn Puppets
A short intimate puppet performance using rod puppets and landscapes is created within and around apparently ordinary suitcases. A journey of discovery leads to a meeting with the magical Unicorn, and the beginning of a lifelong friendship.
After the show the class create their own Unicorn puppets.

Christopher Somerville (Mr. Bimbamboozle) is North Wales' best loved and most experienced children's entertainer and has been associated for many years with the Harlequin puppet theatre.

The show starts and ends with magic which involves a great deal of audience participation.

The puppet performance is full of hilarity and excitement as Mr. Punch gets up to his usual naughtiness, is frightened by the crocodile, and is finally apprehended, with the help of the children, by Mr. Policeman and is escorted from the scene.

Duration 60 minutes

“The Best of Obraztsov” is dedicated to  Sergei Obraztsov, the internationally famous puppeteer, director, founder and leader of the Moscow State Academic Puppet Theatre . The performance includes scenes from the most popular of Obraztsov’s shows: “An extraordinary concert”, “Aladdin and the magic lamp”, “Don Juan” and “At the pike’s behest” which have become classics of world theatre.
Abounding in humour and fantasy the show, with a company of ten, will delight both children and adults and allow them to experience something of the art of arguably the greatest puppet master of the 20th century.
