After providing puppets for the Buxton Drama League‘s productions of Season’s Greetings and Dracula over the past few years, they once more had puppet requirements for their autumn production this year ‘Box of Delights’.

Their’s was the first amateur production ever of John Masefield’s 1935 children’s fantasy novel! And there’s a reason for that….it’s very prop-heavy – over 100 of them are required, many of which spend very little time on stage. In fact, it hadn’t been attempted by a professional outfit until 2017.

We were asked to provide some rod and marionette puppets as an answer to flashbacks and miniaturising magic.
