Professor Freshwater's Punch and Judy Show
|
|
![]() Freshwater Pearls Puppetry is one of the few puppetry troupes in the United States to perform the authentic British Punch and Judy Show. In 1988, we traveled to England to experience the phenomenon of Punch and Judy. We filmed a video documentary there, and some of Britain's most talented Punch "professors" (puppeteers) became our friends. We returned to America with their gift to us — the authentic Punch and Judy Show, as it has been handed down via oral tradition for over 300 years. From this core of tradition, Professor Freshwater's Punch and Judy Show was born. Professor Freshwater (Diane) and Mr. Bottles (Stu) nimbly combine the ages-old Punch tradition with a modern sense of humor. Spongebob Squarepants, Barney the Dinosaur, and 21st-century politicians have all found their way into Punch's pointed commentary, and you never know who will show up next! Roll up, roll up! for Professor Freshwater's Punch and Judy Show! |
