Toy theatres as a medium for contemporary drama; followed by a paper theatre performance of 'Romeo and Juliet' by Edward Gordon Craig.
Alain Lecucq, puppeteer and founder of Paris-based Compagnie Papierthéâtre, will explore the world of toy theatres. These miniature stages were wildly popular in the nineteenth century. At a 'penny plain, tuppence coloured', everyone could afford their own miniature version of grand opera, Shakespeare or Aladdin. Today a few puppeteers, including Lecucq himself, are reviving the art, using scripts by contemporary playwrights.
The lecture will be followed at 2.15 by a paper theatre performance of Edward Gordon Craig’s play ‘Romeo and Juliet’.
