Stuff and Nonsense Theatre Company returns with a brilliant adaptation of The Elves and the Shoemaker. 

Review of Life of Pi at the Crucible, Sheffield

A puppet show hailing from New Zealand, aimed at children and adults alike, this production was like nothing I'd ever seen.

An at times entertaining, part improv, part puppetry and partly tender tale that doesn't quite deliver. 

I don't know if Beadledom was made so that you sat through Omega as exposition to get the meaty imagination of Alpha, but the comparative excitement made it seem that way.

The Little Match Girl and Other Happier Tales was a show on at the Sam Wannermaker Playhouses in London that I saw and reviewed for my silver arts award, it was based off the stories by Hans Christian Andersen and directed and co-adapted by Emma Rice and Joel Horwood. The show included acting, singing, dancing, music and puppetry and was put on in a candle light theatre

In the mid-renovation 1830 Warehouse at the Museum of Science and Industry is a cross-form, multi-sensory, multi-location family production.

Improvised puppetry – what more could you want?
