WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Calgary Herald calls Ronnie Burkett--an Obie Award-winning puppeteer--"a triumph of theatrical illusion." In his darkly funny and profoundly moving production of Street of Blood, Burkett confronts contemporary bloodlust--from the contaminated blood supply scandal to religion, AIDS and celebrity worship. This US Premiere is part of the Henson International Festival of Puppet Theater.
