Suddenly the Christmas season is upon us and there has hardly been time to breath, our two teams have been constantly travelling the length and breadth of the country. So far on our hit list we have performed in Cowley, Stockton on Tees, Basildon, Leceister, Plymouth, Nottingham, Portsmouth, Westbury, Liverpool and Basinstoke. In between via a few sleepless nights, we found the time to give Lady Uphemia Winterbottom a make over, heres a 4 am shot :)
Flashback
We have had a busy run between Halloween and Bonfire Night, to celebrate here is a picture from one of last years Halloween events.
Was he after the pasties or a member of staff?!!!
Paula Bear
This Thursday sees Freya & Gumph make their final appearance as part of Centre Parcs Halloween celebration. Then its off to the puppet retirement home, aka the scrap box, to live out the rest of their days. They have served us well and whilst we are sad to see them go, we have great expectations for their replacements Cornelius and Paula Bear in the Hairy Chairs.2. Cuter characters, better operating system, lighter more performable chairs with inbuilt sound and voice amplification….big things people, big things!
Similarly this Friday sees the last outing for the Goblins in their present incarnation in and around Leigh. Or if you are in Station Square, Lowestoft then keep a weather eye out for Epico and Aurelious performing their penultimate shows of the year from their groovy new tent!
Ahhhh….progress :)
If you go down to the woods today...
Its the down period, the quiet time between the close of the summer season and the opening of the winter festivities. As you can see whilst taking booking for Christmas 2014 we have been hard at work with our programme of re-invention. This October will see the final outings of our Goblins and Hairy Chairs in their current incarnations, the old characters are being retired. In preparation fur and foam have been flying in the workshop.
