The Comical Tragedy or Tragical Comedy of Mr. Punch

Based the graphic novel by internationally acclaimed artists Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean (creators of the Sandman comics) and adapted for the stage by Hyper-theater mavericks Rogue Artists Ensemble, Mr. Punch features a dizzying array of puppets, masks and sounds that will make you feel as though you’ve stepped into the pages of the graphic novel.

Mr. Punch is a twisted tale of murder that explores the oft-fragmented nature of memory, the innocence of childhood and the pain of adulthood. This dark fable, set in a rundown sea side arcade, blurs the line between what is a puppet show and real life. There, every man becomes enamored with a mermaid and only Mr. Punch can destroy the Devil.

As Judy, dear Judy herself says, “…it’s started now, and it can’t be stopped, not even if the DEVIL and all his crocodiles came up from HELL to stop it.”
