‘I regard this production as powerful as the one I
produced with the Kirov Ballet. The puppetry was
inventive, natural and effective, and the audience
made a special journey with extraordinary characters’.
John Faulkener
‘This subtle and witty work is lovingly crafted
with admirable precision and a flair for the
grotesque.’
