This winter we are able to tour to small scale venues and there is a show, to suit all tastes, available for booking now.
The show has enjoyed critical success and is loved by children and adults alike, wherever it is performed.
School workshops are available through out the year.
You may also wish to check out The Puppet Theatre Barge site or Movingstage for further information.
Movingstage was established in 1979. After extensive touring the company opened a theatre on a river barge which seats 50-60. It has all the conveniences and equipment expected in a modern venue. The Puppet Theatre Barge has been open for over eighteen years and in that time it has hosted thousands of performances. It is now an established venue on the London theatre scene. Many schools attend performances on the barge throughout the year.
The company has undertaken three BRITISH COUNCIL sponsored tours in the past and funding has been received from Arts Council England, Richmond Council, Westminster Arts and various charitable trusts including the Gulbenkian Foundation.
The company continue to commission new scripts and musical scores, whenever possible, from contemporary writers and composers in order to present innovative quality theatre which will raise the status and profile of puppetry in this country and Europe.
Movingstage is working to generate a wider recognition of quality live animation as a means of dramatic expression and as an accepted art form in the UK and Europe.
The Puppet Theatre Barge
The Puppet Barge tours the River Thames during the summer and is moored at Little Venice during the winter and spring.
Schools and groups are also able to book a performance on the barge at a time to suit themselves.
"The puppets have a delicate charm and an inner silence that is the stuff of magic."
