Puppet Theatre Barge – Richmond

August 28 @ 2:00 pm - 2:50 pm BST

£10.00 – £14.00

The Selfish Giant: 20th August – 1st September, 14th, 15th, 21st & 22nd September

Most performances at 2.00pm, some at 11.00am.

Oscar Wilde’s The Selfish Giant is brought to life in this beautiful and heartwarming adaptation by James Boswell. Performed with great skill and humour using marionettes (string puppets), what better place than The Puppet Barge for the audience to float away into the magical world of this much loved story.

Suitable for ages 4+. Duration: 50min no interval.

Relaxed performances: 31st August 11.00am & 14th September at 11.00am.

My Shadow & Me: 7th & 8th September

11.00am & 2.00pm.

My Shadow and Me by Drew Colby is like a cartoon created live out of nothing but darkness and light. One person (and his shadow) meet and go on an incredible, imaginative, shadowy journey where creatures emerge, engage and transform beautifully. The show uses minimal language in combination with unusual interpretations of classical music and non-verbal voice effects. Little encounters between characters are explored and tiny stories unfold. Many are funny, some are sweet. The ever fascinating and adorable hand shadow bunny makes an appearance as part of a simple magic trick, and the show ends with a colourful and impressive finale in which multiple shadow characters appear all at the same time – made with just two hands!!

Winner of West End Cabaret Award 2018, Best show Moving Parts Festival 2019 and Top 3 Germany’s Got Talent 2021

This performance is accessible to the deaf and the hard of hearing.

Age limit: 4+. Running time: 45min no interval.
