Picture
The 325th Anniversary of Punch & Judy in Covent Garden, London in May 1987.
Here are a compilation of Puppetry Interviews and a few reports from a collection I have archived over many decades. From the time I got my first cassette tape recorder in the 1970's, I began collecting interviews and sound clips from puppetry events around the globe. During my six years of study at the Institute International de la Marionnette in Charleville, France, I always recorded my lectures from 1981 to 1987. These will be added below as the archive grows. BTW You can watch the video from the Punch & Judy celebrations in 1987 here!
