I have never been to anything like the Puppet Theatre before and my only experience of it is when I attended a short performance of Thumbelina there a couple of years ago with my 3 year old daughter. Both of us absolutely loved it! It took place in the smaller Octagon studio which only has room for about 50 people. All the children sat on the floor on cushions in between two small aisles of chairs reserved for the adults. The puppets were amazing! So beautifully created and with such character. The puppeteer was a brilliant story-teller and performed with the puppets so expertly that they really seemed to come to life. My daughter was totally focussed on the performance as were all the other children there. This is a great place to introduce young children to theatre entertainment.
