We have a wonderful marionette theatre in Basel at Munsterplatz, the cathedral square. It doesn’t matter that the puppet plays are in Basel Deutsch dialect as you can follow the marionettes which are charming. Beautiful for children and adults alike.

My favourite place in the whole of London. I take my grandchildren whenever I can but I think it’s me who gets the most from it. If I had my time again I would have become a puppet maker and puppeteer. As close to magic as life gets. Thank you Little Angel!

Thanks for this wonderful story! I love puppets and look forward to attending at least one performance in my long-planned trip to England next spring.

Thank you for welcoming us into this rollicking, bountiful studio. Every drawer, every shelf,
every pin board is full of fascinations. Some seem to be the specialized gear of the puppeteer; and others are the just-plain-useful stuff of everyday life. And we also learn the life story of Ms.
Wright — priceless.

Within the film version of “Anna Karenina”, directed by Joe Wright, is an all-too-brief scene of an old cluttered toy shop. I wanted to leap out of my chair and examine every detail of the place – and then, poof, it was gone. Anna selects a toy……….a little cunning white horse (a puppet, I think) to give to her son; an echo of a singular white horse that appears in a different scene. Throughout the film, endless references to toy theaters and puppets appear — and it is one of the most unique film productions I’ve ever seen. The mastermind in charge: Ms. Wright’s son, Joe. Everything comes full circle.

Thanks for a lovely article….and the photo of Larry the Cat. Having just read ‘Puppet’ by David Almond I’d strongly recommend it to anyone who finds magic in the art of puppetry.

Oh! Thank you so much for this interview, GA and Lyndie. I had no idea the Little Angel Theatre existed. One of my fondest childhood memories is seeing Mozart’s The Magic Flute at the Salzburg Marionette Theatre. Such magic! And now, I see that I can bring my 10-year old nephew to experience the enchantments of puppet theatre right here in London (and, for a while, become a child again myself).

We used to do my own puppet show for my Mum and Auntie Rae who lived with us .
My brother and I .

We got a free cardboard box and Mum told us to cut a side out .

We hid behind a curtain and did our puppet show .
