PUPPETS COME TO LIFE

by Jez Bond

A day of meetings, some at home, some on site and some out in Soho. I showed Sam West the building and he was very excited by the project. I hope he may be able to give us some time and get involved - he lives locally so that's a plus.

In the evening we went to the first show in a long time to which we bought a ticket (rather than being invited). It was War Horse. A truly magical experience for the life-like puppets of the horses (and a star appearance from a goose!) After a short time one ceased to see the puppeteers (who were superb not just at the movements but all the noises as well) and felt one was looking real living, breathing horses with individual characters. A moving story set to the horrific backdrop of World War One.
