Here's - Center for Puppetry Arts

Stead, Philip
John Mr. Punch 1950 English
seashore, or at the Christmas
party, Mr. Punch still exercises
his age old magic - a magic
which draws the child of to-day
as surely as it drew its greatgreat-grand-parents.
Who was
Mt. Punch? - how did this
legend grow - how has the
familiar ritual been handed on
through the generations?
Philip Stead provides these
answers in an enthralling story
of Punch the marionette
through the ages. We see him

crossing the frontier to
become Polichinelle in France
and finding his way across the
Channel to land in England as

past, of the influence of the
great Mr. Powel and in
Victorian England, of Piccini.

elaborations which have grown
