Blind Summit’s Citizen Puppet

Puppet pioneers Blind Summit Theatre collaborate with The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama to present a political puppet documentary experiment that delves into the lives of people on the political “fringe”, in the build up to the general election. Using verbatim dialogue collected from puppets to tell a story of dubiously acquired wealth, fear of strangers, boom and bust, and the death of a giant.
