The Tragical Comedy or Comical Tragedy of Mr. Punch

The Tragical Comedy or Comical Tragedy of Mr. Punch is a dark fable, adapted from the graphic novel by best-selling author Neil Gaiman and internationally acclaimed artist Dave McKean.

A man’s memories of his boyhood at his grandfather’s seaside arcade are full of talking badgers, crocodiles, car accidents, mermaids and murder — or could that just have been the Punch and Judy show? Using an innovative hybrid of theater traditions, puppetry and digital media, Mr. Punch explores the twisted nature of memory, the cruelty of adults and the beauty of simple kindness.

Adapted for the stage by Sean T. Cawelti with Miles Taber and the Rogues, directed by Sean T. Cawelti, with original music by Ben Phelps, and puppets designed by Joyce Hutter.
