who we are and what we do

The Puppet Company resides in Cornwall and is a nationally touring theatre company committed to producing daring and wondrous performances. We use many forms of puppetry and mask to create imaginative and densely rich worlds in which our stories are set. Not only to entertain, but also thrill, inspire and educate.

We look for the brightest sparks in the most dimly lit places of life to inspire our work.

 

We use highly talented and creative individuals to create our worlds - from designers and makers of fantastic things, to illustrators, musicians, dancers and performers. All are fully CRB checked to enable us to work in schools as well as commercial theatre spaces.

We also design and make items on a commission basis, ask and we'll see what we can do. Some of our commissioned items can be seen in the 'Commissions' section of the site. We also sell handmade masks and puppets - check out our 'For Sale' sections.
