About

The Puppet Theatre Barge returns to Richmond riverside for a season of magical puppet shows.

Suitcase Circus

September 20th and 21st at 7.30pm

Welcome to the stage an incredibly entertaining group of objects who ooze attitude, sleaze, charm and an abundance of talent. Sometimes gritty, often mad, enter the wonderful and chaotic world of Suitcase Circus.

Meet Wobulous Discombobulous, an anarchic sock as he introduces a lineup which includes; Madame Teapot, the 'stainless steel diva', Timrek the Fantastical (Who will swallow pretty much anything!), lest we forget the infamously and the hilariously geriatric Frau Brothers.

A Folded Feather production

Oscar Wilde's The Selfish Giant is brought to life in this beautiful and heartwarming adaption. 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.

August 20th - September 22rd

 

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. The show has toured to Turkey, India, Switzerland, Chile, Portugal, Malaysia, Italy, Russia, South Korea and Albania.

September 7th and 8th at 11am and 2pm
